Found my late grand dads shot gun, could /k/ tell me what model this is? All I know is it's 60+ years old, just cleaned it.
Fun fact: it has sweet sixteen engraved on it for whatever reason

Browning Model A5. Gramps had some good taste, anon. Take it to a reputable gunsmith and ask if those recoil rings are good to go, which they probably won't be, but get them fixed and go take it out. That's a very nice shotgun and it looks like it was loved before your grandads passing.

Also note that's a particular model of A5, I can see from the gold trigger. I don't remember what model of A5 has that gold trigger but if my memory serves me right I'm positive that's not just a plain Jane A5. Lucky you.

Browning A5, one of my favorite guns actually! Get that shit fixed up (and shorten that damn barrel) and go shoot it! I Love that thing

Do not actually fucking do this holy shit, rifle is fine, don't cut the damn thing off

>sweet sixteen browning A5
Looks like it has a goose barrel and the finish on the wood looks pretty good. Cherish that shotgun forever. Gramps had style, a good vintage A5 is a slick shooter in a blind or busting clays.

>shorten that barrel
Please kill yourself

You gonna slap a fucking tacticool rail on it too you motherfucker?
>>34360891
Do not under any circumstances shorten the barrel.
Take good care of it anon

Instead of being full blown, arms flapping, reeeee autistic and saying you should kill yourself... Please castrate yourself to better society

How cheap of a guns is it okay to chop down? I have a C&R hammer double 12 guage that I intend to cut down to 18 inches. 28 inches is just silly.

Let me add that you can swap barrels on an A5 and it's not even that difficult. So buy a shorter one if you must.
