Browning A5 - 12 Ga. - 3" Magnum

aztanglefoot
Hi,

I have a Browning A5 - 12 Ga. - 3" Magnum

S/N 6V 80273

Could you tell me when it was built and the value. It is in very good condition and probably has only 100 rounds through it.

Thanks

    Made in 1966.
    Being a "V"/Magnum, we know it should have a factory recoil pad.
    Has the "length of pull" (stock length)been altered, that you know of?
    Does "Very Good" condition mean:
    That the wood and metal are 98% of new condition or better?
    Does it have the original box and owner's manual.
    What is the choke of the barrel and is it vent rib or plain?
    Inquiring minds will need to know, to better help answer your
    question.

    Merry Christmas

    No I don't think it has been altered.

    I would say that the condition is 98% of new - no box or manual.
    What is the choke of the barrel and is it vent rib or plain?
    Rib vent. no choke.

    This information is a help.
    Although it has no "Invector" choke as later Brownings, you
    will note on the barrel, where it says 12 ga. 3" there will be
    a * (denotes full choke) or maybe ** (denotes modified choke).
    Condition and vent rib are the main items of interest and the
    choke isn't going to make that much difference.
    You might be best served to look back at past auctions on GB to
    see what they've been bringing, but considering condition
    you're looking at a "Retail" $ of 750 give or take 50.
