Thanks guys, I'm thrilled to have it back.
I spent several hours the other day tearing it down and cleaning the heck out of it. I found some rust inside the magazine tube that prevents smooth action of the follower, which will interfere with proper cycling of the gun. So I'm going to send it back to Browning, and have a new magazine tube put on. Then it will be ready to go hunting!!

Thats a great story and event in getting that A5 back in the family. I've had several over the years and have none now, wish I had them back. My favorite was a Belgian Magnum 20...wish I had it now I would shoot a turkey every year with it for old times sake.

I've always had a thing for A5's. They are such beautiful guns, and I'm a big fan of John Browning. Being able to get this particular gun back though, is a dream come true for me. I'll either pass it on to my grandson (if I ever get one
), or it will go to my grave with me. I cannot wait to hunt this fall and next spring with Dad's old A5!!
