Over the last 10 days I have added 2 more 16's to the 3 already in the arsenal...
a 1955 Wingmaster deluxe that came with 3 barrels
26" Plain IC
28" Plain Mod
and I'm afraid the original barrel with the matted top..cut to 20" and re-beaded it was originally choked full..
A 1954 Standard A5 ~28" barrel with a deluxe Polychoke and no choke markings..gun is super clean and appears to be low-mileage..I cannot wait to shoot this one.
Working on pictures..please be patient. |

That just means you wasted 8 days.  Although it was nice of you to leave some 16's for the rest of us.
Merry Christmas, Ron |

You'll enjoy the A5, those are my favorite years.

Ron..... just making sure that they don't remain in the hands of the Infidels and Non-believers any longer than necessary..
Jeff.I'm sure I will enjoy it..I had a 1928/29 A5 of similar layout..it had the 65mm chamber..I shot a mountain of doves with it. Sold it at a moment of weakness to generate some money for Christmas one year. That won't happen with this one.

Sean,
I like the earliest 50's guns that have the cross block safety. (late 51)
Your gun was made right at the introduction of the 2 piece lifter (speedload feature). '53-'54 Does your gun have it?
It's certainly not necessary but it is kind of neat. Most of my guns are earlier and dont have "speedload" so I usually forget to use it in my later guns.

Yes it does..I plan on shooting it this weekend... and the cross block safety is far better than the other one.. |
