one million dollars..............
no, tech sargent[:I] I missed one of those like ten years ago because I thought it was fake. I had never seen an upgrade a-5 it was at a garage sale for 300 dollars
It sure is a beautiful work of art. I love old Brownings.
Have to agree with you there.
CP
give me the remmy model 11 any day [;)]
I got one...it will be for sale after I get a replacement fore arm I bought it but it isn't here yet. its the nicer one with checkered stock and engraving on the receiver
I couldn't imagine it being any higher than 6,000.00
Cartod, want to check 6,000.00 and see if I'm right?[:o)]
Look at pic #14 wood to metal doesnt look right.
yeah the a-5's are typically a little proud on the wood side but the varnish is edged a little across the top tang
having the original butplate does no good on this one as the stock was cut straight and it could never go back on right. A pachmeyer but pad is the thing that really hurts the value of this gun. I would never have guessed someone would bid this high and yet not reach reserve.
the grade 5 I saw before had an oil/satin finish

Did I mention the typical forearm crack in pic 10, and that I hate the higloss finish of a browning.[8D] Shoulda sold it at no reserve.
Check out the Initial plate on the butt stock. It might be Adolf Hitlers old A-5
What was hitlers middle name, Badass? ....[:D] Or maybe Boy I wish I had my other nut.
I thought you were a a-5 guy? anyway I don't see the crack but I see the grain where one could start. one time shooting it without the mag cap tight will split it. course I am not in the habit of shooting 80 year old mint guns. got newer ones to take to the field
I like A-5's. I just hate a hi gloss finish and a forearm crack....and oh yea did I mention hating a polychoke. A5 are cool but they cracked too easy and most of the stocks were cut and fit with a maxi pad..[:o)]
