eddoakley Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Anyone here shooting an a5? Have one being brought in tomorrow and am unsure whether to buy it. I've never had or sold one but have a vague recollection of reading some poor reviews a while ago. This one is a 2013. Any info appreciated.

figgy Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Never seen one in any dealers I've been in, or any at a shoot I've attended. Can't be very popular these days. Remember some on here buying them when they first came out. With it being inertia it should be reliable enough.

I would expect reliability and good build quality but as you say there doesn't seem to be a great number of them about. I don't recall having seen one anywhere. It's one of those guns that I think should sell easily but I have that having feeling that it could sit for a long time. A bit like the 32" fusion that I have. I will see how many replies I get before it turns up tomorrow. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Personally unless it was a bargain I wouldn't chance it sitting on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 There’s 3 on guntrader that’s been there awhile .may take a while to sell like you say . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted December 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 The guy didn't turn up yesterday so I guess he will come in today. I've made a provisional offer but also told him that I need to look at it before confirming. He is supposed to be bringing it on the basis of my offer. I've seen the ones on guntrader and also know that sportsman guncentre offered him £200! I will see what it's like and make a decision from there.

Edd They must have believed off was a pre 1998 of the long recoil design. (The barrel moves backwards in the action like a pogo stick the length of the bolt) The later ones have a system like a bennelli and the Barrel won't move. £200 offer is a bit cheeky for a 2013 gun if you ask me.

figgy Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hmm £250.00 sounds like a good deal lol. Eddoakley you certainly seem to like the more unusual guns to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta have some interesting and unusual stuff otherwise it would get a bit boring. I don't seem to make any money from having a shop so I at least need to make it a bit of fun!
