Would an A5 come factory fit with a slug barrel?
Hey Guys,
I've a friend who's father in law is going to start unloading some guns, but nearly all of it is stuff that I don't have any interest in.

This one gun doesn't make sense to me, but that's probably more because of me than because of it.

It is a 'Light Twelve' and the barrel is marked made in Belgium, but it is shorter and has rifle sights.

Think this is how it left the factory? Looks possibly unfired, and is about as attractive as an A5 can get. Any value estimates?

condition and location are the 2 main factors in price... with internet sales and marketing being what it is,,,, in 80-90% condition, (carried, shot, no missing blue).. i'd start AT $1200-1500 and see what happens...in a Browning collectors group, you'd find a buyer pretty quick..

I have owed one with additional barrels since the early 1970s. It has taken alot of game (deer, pheasants, grouse, squirrels, ducks, etc,).
Very well made
If it is like new there will be a market especially if made in Belgium.
