Hey Gang...
For your consideration, this is a project that I have been working on for a little while.
Years ago, I picked up a WELL worn Remington Model 11 (the brother shotgun to the Brownign A5). I found out that they were used during WWII as plane tracking aids (for gunners) and by the US Navy as close quarters battle guns. So I promptly chopped the barrel, and began blasting skeets with it.
I was very pleased at how well, and FAST the gun cycles. I ended up getting several A5's after that just to play with.
Anyhoo, I just finished this one. It is "old school style meets new world tactical". Here's what I did...
-shortened barrel to 20"
-attached a Trijicon ramp front sight
-bead blasted the receiver and barrel to get a flat finish
-re-blued the gun using Oxpho-Blue (...what a great product!)
-added 2 round mag-tub extension and spring (capacity is 7+1...but pinned to 5 to avoid the outrage
)
-attached picatinny scope rail
-added holographic sight
Have a look and PLEASE let me know what you think! Further, if anyone wants one of their own, I am thinking about building a few more with Browning A5's as bases. They could be custom ordered with various barrel lengths, stock choices (re-finished wood or black/camo composite), sight options, etc.
Thanks!
