| I have seen factory plugs for the old A5s and I believe they came with a new gun. They were made of wood. If you can find a photo of one they would not be hard to make from a hardwood dowel. You may be able to pick up one from Browning. Midwest gun works has them (plastic) for 10$. C.G.B. |

| Best are the plastic ones unless you need to feel nostalgic. I've removed most of my original wooden ones and replaced them with plastic for practicality's sake. |

But it is hard not being cheap. I just got chewed out for buying a new ice auger. Wife said doesn't your 50 yoa hand auger still work. I have a nice electric one now.  |
