1972 Vintage Belgian Browning A5 Light Twenty Shotgun w/ 28" Vent Rib Full Choke Barrel
** Spectacular Example **
Description:
This is a spectacular all-original 20 gauge Belgian Browning A5 Light Twenty shotgun with the sought-after 28" inch ventilated rib barrel choked "Full". This beautiful Browning A5 Light Twenty has obviously spent the vast majority of it's life in storage and appears to have been fired very little, likely a handful of times at the most. The original factory gloss blue finish is bright and beautiful, rating 98%. The only deductions we can find are some tiny spots on the upper and lower tangs from some prior surface rust and a touch of high-edge wear in spots. As you can see from the pictures, these minor imperfections do not detract any appreciable amount from the pristine overall look of the gun. All of the screws in this Light Twenty are pristine and appear unturned with perfect slots/heads, and all of the factory engraving and markings are crisp and clean. The factory gold finish on the trigger is like-new and shiny, rating 99% plus with no visible wear or flaking. The factory-polished bright bolt is also like-new and in excellent condition, free from any staining, runner-marks, or pitting. The bolt face is perfect with no visible wear and there is even quite a bit of the original factory oil still dried on the bolt in places. The 28" vent rib barrel on this A5 is in excellent condition. The bore is mirror-bright and pristine, free from any pitting, dents, bulges, or imperfections of any kind. The factory vent rib is tight to the barrel with no dents or loose joints, and the silver bead front sight is in perfect condition. The original stock set on this Browning Light Twenty is beautiful and in excellent condition. The forearm and buttstock are both 100% free from any cracks, chips, or repairs. The checkered panels on both the forearm and pistol grip are crisp, clean, and free from any damage or oil soiling. The original factory gloss wood finish is crystal-clear, bright, and spider-crack free on both parts. All of the original stock hardware is intact and in excellent condition, including the original Browning/FN-branded buttplate. This stock set is perfectly fit to the gun and tight to the metal with no wiggle. The action on this A5 is slick, strong, and precise, and the bolt-to-barrel lock-up is perfect when in battery. All of the internals of this shotgun are just as clean and free from wear as the exterior. All of the recoil parts on the magazine tube are in-place and in excellent condition, and even the original factory diagram on the inside of the forearm is still in place, legible, and in good condition overall. All of the controls on this Browning are in perfect working order and we have no doubt that it will fire and function just as well today as the day it left the factory over 48 years ago. This is truly a "collector grade" Browning A5 Light Twenty that you could carry with real pride into any dove field, quail preserve, hunting camp, or skeet field in the world. A truly sought-after classic in the world of semi-auto shotguns, this Browning A5 Light Twenty should continue to be an excellent long-term investment as well!
