My A5 shotgun is its smaller cousin....though it only dates to ~1935-ish.
I have a 1969 browning a5 and love that shotgun. Taken many rabbits and pheasant with it. It's fun at the trap range too. Lots of guys newer to the sport ask me about it......I always take the time to go off to the side with them and field strip it and then show them how the long recoil principal works. None of the folks I've showed it to had any idea how it worked and were amazed when I they saw how the barrel recoils into the receiver. Browning was a genius.I have a Remington Model 11 12gauge. They were licensed copies of the A5. I had never had any experience with the A5/ variants until I bought mine and took it apart for cleaning. What a genius design!
I was out and about on my birthday several years ago and stopped into one of the LGS's to look for ammo. I saw that model 11 sitting on the used long gun rack and asked to see it. $150 on the price tag was a no-brainer. Grabbed it as a spur of the moment birthday gift to myself and now it's my favorite pheasant/ trap gun. It was made in 1942
