Finished A Browning A-5 for Home

Picked up an old Browning A-5 on GB a while back. This one had the old push safety on the front of the trigger guard. It had a bad barrel and cut down stock for a youth. Got it for cheap.
So, I cut the barrel to 18 1/2. Replaced the front sight. Cut the stock down some more and replaced the recoil pad. Finished it off by installing a sling. I think this will make a fine home shotgun.
Hope the photo is available on photobucket... here is the link.

nice job
Had similar ideas, picked-up a seriously used A5 also. No where into my project as yet. Any pointers or thoughts on the project?
Very nice job ... you did yourself proud.
You did a nice job with that one.[:D]
