Browning A-5 reviews

[M.T. Pockets]

Thanks guys. I ran into a very, very knowledgable person in the used gun shop at a Scheel's store and he spent a lot of time with me and my son. He's a retired engineer who happens to be a gun nut and works there for something to do. He answered a lot of questions on the A-5 for us. Little things like making some adjustments with the brass ring and replacing the recoil spring and how to clean them. He has one in every guage they made them in. He also said the he preferred the Japanese models for performance over the Belgian made ones, and they were often priced lower.

I think of this as being kind of a "bridge" gun for my boy. The first he's buying with his own $$ and something he can keep for life. At first I told him to wait a couple years and get a more modern autoloader, but he can still do that.

He reads a lot and wants a gun designed by Mr. Browning himself.
