It ends in "S5." I do intend to shoot it and avoided some collectible full/full choked guns because of that. My thought was that I'd rather have a Belgian Browning than a Citori for around the same money. I'll get out and get an appropriate choke wrench and let you know how that goes. It's really a nice looking gun and feels mechanically solid. I won't know until I get out and shoot it, though.

I have a 1948-vintage A-5 that I like, although it has a PolyChoke that needs a new gasket. My gun club has cracked down on enforcing thatwe all police our own shells and it was time to move to an O/U. I have a well-built Turkish O/U that I'm now going to sell as it doesn't fit me that well and I don't think it will outlast my new Browning.

I appreciate your help!
