It has a Poly choke as well, so I consider it a shooter shotgun instead of a "collector", so I doubt the wood finish makes a whole lot of difference in what it's worth.

Didn't consider any collector value when I bought them for Dad's A5 when they first came available decades ago. Just wanted to protect what I had as I already cracked the original forearm like a dumbass. Same as buying the Jap Barrel with invector chokes to save the original unchoked barrel as I was throwing lots a steel at ducks at the time.

Gotcha!

BTW, I think our fearless leader here, RickBin, is an A5 guy as well. wink

Would'nt doubt it. A better all around shotgun has never been made IMO.

You are correct.

There was a light 12 and a 20 at the LGS last week. The 20 was a round knob.
