I ran into a guy that had this shotgun passed down to him along with 130 others and as he simply had no place to keep them so he has to thin the heard. Unfortunately many of the 130 are rusty because after his grandfather died, his grandmother put them out back in a shed! I hope to get out there an inspect the rest one day. I feel like I bought a "rescue" shotgun.
It's a nice light twelve, had a little light rust I was able to oil and fine steel wool away. I love the speed loading feature, my earlier A5 didn't have it or the vent rib barrel. As with most of the A5's I've taken apart, the friction ring and steel washer were set up wrong, he had the flat of the washer against the receiver.
