Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Anyone know where I can get an original Auto 5 forward stock?

Local shop has a nice old Belgian Browning Auto 5 in 12 guage, but the forward stock is after-market. I guess the original broke. I'd like to buy it, as the price seems reasonable due to the obviously aftermarket forward stock (Boyds), but I'd only buy it if I had an original forward stock I could pop on it. Know where I could get one?

Hawkeye - e-gunparts.com (Numrich Arms) has several different types for the A-5. Don't know if they are "original" but they should match. I have seen forends on ebay from time to time but they are hard to find because splitting forends is so common with this gun.

Most folks tighten the forend down tight and there is s alot of vibration which causes them to crack. Backing the cap off 1/4 or 1/2 turn from tight will solve the problem.

The 'ol humpback is a great gun. Good luck.

Didn't I see this on another forum??

There's an ad in the Gunlist for someone who has A-5 fore ends, original to the Japanese made guns. I think $75.

these folks should have it
