My granddad left me his Belgium A5 12 gauge. I need to take a picture of the owner's manual. He bought it for $199 from Mayo Gun and Supply in Cullman in September of 1970. Still works flawlessly. And to think these guns where designed in the late 1800's!! Talented guy that Browning was. The craftsman ship was TOUGH!! I felt a little too complicated for the average person at the time (or maybe not since more people where mechanically inclined) and as others have said, kicked like a mule to me. But considering everything, this gun 100+ years ago is unbelievable. Reminds me of the design and craftsmanship of the Covington planter which IMO is the toughest, simplest (any fool like myself can work on it) piece of equipment used commonly today.
