I recently purchased a Belgium made Browning A-5 12 gauge, bought it from a guy who needed the money, it is in mint condition. I paid 500.00 for gun and one extra barrel(full choke and improved cylinder) Anyone know if this was a good buy? Thanks for you help.
Ya, those seem to be real popular. I know at Whittaker's guns in Owensboro,(west Louisville) there were two used ones a couple weeks ago that some people have traded in. One was over $400 and the other over $500. I'd say a mint one or one in good shape would sell high. The browining "sweet sixteen" 16ga auto, old style sells for $800 to $1000 easy in mint shape. Even the new ones out now are high and have a good reason to be. Anyway, I'd hang on to that one and pass it down in the family. I wouldn't sell it for small profit, cause I don't think you'll get another one in good shape that cheep. I rabbit hunted with two guys last tuesday. One had A5 12ga and the other A5 16ga. They were both very worn guns and ugly on the outside, but those things were cycling just fine in 20F weather and snow.
