    Looking for Belgian A5 identification help... Please.

    Im looking to sell my A5 that only has a box or two of shells through it. My father purchased it for me years ago and at the time it was unfired and all packed in grease. I am torn on what to ask for it since there are so many different variations, and the blue book also isnt very easy to decipher, so Im hopeful the calguns community can point me in the right direction. Im not completely sold on the idea of letting it go, but would for sure like to know exactly what I have. I appreciate the help.

    This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

        True wealth is time. Time to enjoy life.

        Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

          Well not packing grease, it was just heavily coated in a thick oil or something similar.
