Thanks for a wonderful story . Made My Day.
My dad had a pair of A5's, one light 12 and one 20. He told me that they only made the 20 guage in Belgium for one year before moving the production to Japan. Both of his A5's were made in Belgium. Unfortunately he sold them years ago an I did not inherit them from him. He left me only good memories and pictures when he left me a year ago next week. I'll never forget the wood on those 2 guns, amazing. Dad never shot the 20, only my brother and I did, and only with him. He purchased it new with insurance money received after the theft of a sweet 16 and a Browning 22.
What a great tale. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful story. You'll always have fond memories of your grumpy old neighbor every time you shoot & clean that A-5. That gun is priceless!

Great story - wish I could see the pics.
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but yesterday I finally blooded the old girl. I shot a pair of pheasants yesterday! I hadn't really hunted with it yet, even though I received it two years ago.
Old Joe would be happy!
Good for you! If you didn’t post this, I would have missed this great story. Thanks!!!
Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!
I have been thinking today of some of the people I have lost over the years. I appreciated this story very much. Memories are a wonderful thing.
