moztoyota Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 hi all, just aquired a Browning A5 semi auto 3 shot 12g for£180.00 old but in good condition, would have been nice in a 16g but these seem a bit rare as i like 16g guns better,has anyone got any tips/views on these old guns,i,ve not tried it yet.

chesterse Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Great classic guns, I've got one which was made in 1959 and still going. Have shot thousands of pigeons with it. A few years ago it started to jam so bought a parts service kit from Brownells in the States and had my local gunsmith replace all the parts. I think the kit cost something like $15 and the gunsmith charged about £20 for putting them in. Has never missed a beat since. They tend to be short in the stock and low in the comb so I put a larger pad and comb raiser on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraivi Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just make sure theres not too much oil on the mag tube, and you have the friction rings set up correctly for the load you're using, and it's the sweetest shooting auto you know.
