My dad has one in the restoration proces.. He is doing a custom job himself. He had the barrel reblued, the reciever nickel plated, and a new stock made. I will post pics when he gets it finished.

the best auto 12 ga to come out of the states period.ive owned 23/4" including the ltd edition engraved magnum ,wish i still had it,with win xx mag 2s +bbs it was a terrific long range goose killer.,i mustve been mad to sell it.
BW you knew I would be here. I've got four now. Two light twelves (one stalker and one re-finished all matte blue and new walnut), a magnum stalker, and a standard 16. Pics to follow. :thumbsup:
I have 2 Belgium A-5 shotguns. Mine are the real deal old school ones, prior to the gold triggers. Fixed choke with 32" barrels and no vented rib. Actually I broke the forearm on one of them about 2 years ago. I am having trouble finding a replacement. It is the very light wood color, not the dark. Super reliable, those guns have no price tag, will go with me to the grave!!!!
I have one from my grandfather. It has a slug barrel and I have only used it for deer. Is it possible to get a new/newer barrel that can handle steel shot?
195? Belgian Browning A-5 Magnum, use to hunt with it years ago but it was my grandfathers and I want it to be in great shape when I pass it down to my sons ..... Great shooter.
I have two sweet sixteens, 1923 European mdl 2 1/2 bored to 2 3/4, the other is a 1931, one 1933 2 3/4 lite twelve, 1954 3in heavy twelve, love shooting the 16s on upland birds,
Thanks bluewing, you know I'm good for a few....although I'm still nowhere near A5Mag12 in numbers yet.
I'll get some new pics posted here when I'm back home.
PBR, just look for a Hastings or Japanese barrel with screw-in choke tubes. Not cheap, but that will get you shooting steel quickly, and probably cheaper in the long run than buying Tungsten, Bismuth, etc.
