Browning A5
« on: August 07, 2014, 04:53:43 AM »
Okay, not a big shotgun enthusiast.  Thought I'd just FF through this one so I could say I watched it.  BUT,

Saw the first close up slo-mo of the action and said, STOP THE PRESSES.  (As I said, I don't know a whole lot about shotguns.)   Wow, the whole barrel recoils.  Neat.  Of course as, Larry Potterfield points out there is a some dangers in that type of action, not to mention it was recoil heavy.

Didn't see it the first time around, but watched it last night.  I wish they had shown how the friction ring system works and is adjusted.  I shoot trap with a couple guys who use old A5's, and they mess with the rings from time to time.

I don't know how I have missed it, but the whole Widowmaker was interesting.  And Larry Potterfield's demo of slamming the gun down to load it was TV the way it was meant to be  ;D

The A5 is an iconic design.  There was a copy at our local Cabelas that's was valued at well over 25k!  I've shot the Sweet Sixteen of the same design.  An FN gun from the late forties. 

Tried to buy it but it went to her nephew instead.

The slight pause and look on his face saying, "Are you folks getting THIS?" was priceless!!

Personally, I kinda liked the slo-mo of the fly taking off from the receiver during the final video of the action working. :D

I can't understand people who think banning guns makes them safer. They must also believe that banning books makes them smarter.
