I will take my "junk Jap" Auto 5s over anythig made to day and about half of the Belgium A5s I have seen. Shoot, I can say the same for my old Remington 1100. :tongue:OHIODUCKA5 said:A new Spanish A-5 ,a Junk Jap A-5 or a Real A-5 (Belgian).
The Jap A5 aren't junk. I'm just a purist :lol3: . I'd buy a new A5 just not at 1300 bucksA5Gunner said:I will take my "junk Jap" Auto 5s over anythig made to day and about half of the Belgium A5s I have seen.

You can buy an original humpback, safe for steel and 3 inch for about 1/2 the price and have twice the gun.medlin11 said:The new A5s have a good look to me. The price is just so high. but i guess you get what you pay for
No Sir it could be a Belgian made. Not many were made A5 special steelA5Gunner said:Word :beer:
But that would be a Jap A5 if it is safe for steel. :thumbsup:
I hope you're trolling.OHIODUCKA5 said:No Sir it could be a Belgian made. Not many were made A5 special steel
Probably some marketing thing to state their barrels were better than the run of the mill or damascas stuff out there in the olden days. My Winchester Model 1912 says "Nickel Steel" on the barrel but I don't think I'm shooting nickel shot out of it. :wink:gearhead80 said:My grandfather hunted with this gun up until prolly '01 -02'? So it had quite a bit of steel ran through it. I inherited it after he passed away and I don't shoot it. Keeping it as a collector gun. So what does the special steel mean then? Now I'm just curious.
Got me thinking. :huh: (I can hear the horse laughs.). Steel shot was not mandated till 1975. There probably was little demand for a steel-compatible barrel before the early '70s.A5Gunner said:Probably some marketing thing to state their barrels were better than the run of the mill or damascas stuff out there in the olden days.

You said the ones stamped "special steel" were safe for shooting steel through. That's wrong, see the link already posted.OHIODUCKA5 said:So the ones that say steel shot safe on the barrels are wronghankyorke said:I hope you're trolling.OHIODUCKA5 said:No Sir it could be a Belgian made.
