Original Browning A5 Light Twelve, if you can live without 3” shells. Hand engraving and checkering, French walnut stock. Nothing else points as well for me. After foolishly selling my original when someone waved a bunch of cash at me, I picked up another one and had tubes installed by Briley in its 30” barrel. It requires adjusting the friction rings when changing from light to heavy loads or vice-versa, but that’s a minor quibble. The quality is something usually associated with double guns.

Been shooting clays with it this year, something new for me. Almost no one else is familiar with those at the range, and the way it feeds itself when you stuff a shell in the magazine with the bolt open is a minor marvel to them.


What fresh Hell is this?
