good looking shotgun. I haven't owned one yet, but I will. I shot my granpa's in the dove field several times when I was younger and loved it.

My grandpa gave me 3 - Winchester Model 1911's when he passed away. They are not in mint condition by any means, but they will never go anywhere. They were all 3 my great grandpa's and they have been handed down to me. He never turkey hunted at all, but they shot lots of rabbits, cats, dogs, squirrels, deer, and snakes over the years that I know of. I need to get them out and hunt with them this year. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=172441904

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=172441904 Same here. I have a few A-5's my grandfather has passed down to me along with a few I have picked up over the years. I will pass them to my son. They are not mint condition but they have killed more than a few truckloads of quail and dove in their time. I have owned a lot of different shotguns over the years, but there is nothing that feels as sweet in the hands as a Belgium made A-5.

It's hard to find these guns these days without some kind of modification. Buttpads are the most common modification. Some add a polypchoke, drill it for a scope etc. If you want to retain any guns value, don't start screwing with it. And NEVER get the bright idea to take some steel wool to one to "knock off" a little rust. If it takes more than oil and rag, LEAVE IT ALONE. A poly-choke

A poly-choke
