Browning A5 20 Gauge

[BOBGBA]

I have an opportunity to buy a 1966 round knob Browning A5 20 gauge, 28? ribbed barrel with a modified choke...Buy or not buy?

Any decision? Picures?

Yes, I bought the A5 20g. I can pick it up around October 14. However, I?m having knee replacement surgery tomorrow (October 4) and won?t be able to drive for a while. I may not be able to pick it up until around the end of October.

By the way, I also have a 1970 Belgium A5 20 gauge 28 inch barrel also with a modified choke that?s in condition similar condition to the one I just bought. Those A5 20g are wonderful shotguns. All I need know is a Browning B80 20g in similar condition.

Congrats. If your looking for a 12ga magnum 1972 with 27.5" barrel hit me up. Been trying to sell it for only $550.

I sold 3 Belgium's to a fella in NC a few years ago for $750 each. A Sweet Sixteen that was well used in the field, a Magnum Twelve and a Light Twelve. Both 12's were in great condition but had home grown recoil pads installed, although done right, not factory. Probably a couple hunnerd bucks less than I could have got but the guy gladly picked up all three. As much as I hate to let go of anything, I'm not much of a shot gunner and I turned some of the ducats into a big loop Henry .41 mag, Ruger Ranch X39 (both with Vortex glass), and a Scott Werks Thompson in new a Ruger Tach .22 chassis. I had the A5s for decades and never shot them. PAX

Seems like selling was the right call to me.

those Belgium A5 20 gauges are nice and almost as light as my Benelli somehow!
I have one I bought that was freckled with rust and stock cut but it was only $180, functioning �� though.

Wishing you the best on your surgery and recovery.
