So... any of our members here have an interest in firearms?

I have 3 Browning A 5's this one was left in my duck boat the metal rusted big time There was about an inch of water in the bottom of my duck boat. The shotgun was left on the deck of the boat for several days. The shotgun was covered up with some boat cushions and left behind in the boat

One day I will tackle bringing it back to life. No hurry I like the A5's but given the choice in auto loaders I will go a field with a Remington 1100 every time Personal choice I like the 1100 over the A5

The day you get around bringing it back to life you do have more than rust to tackle. Your fore-end has been too lose at times or over oiled (making it soft) - damaging it. The barrel no longer sits where it should (flush to the reciever) - see picture. This makes the bolt/bolt trigger hammer into the reciever - damaging it to destruction in a short time. Not uncommon on A5 with over oiled fore-ends or if one does not tighten the front screw enough.



Compare with how mine looks at the same place.

Good eye
The forearm is trashed from the water damage the forearm swelled and from the spring tension allowed the barrel to slide forward the a5 is now a rust bucket I will need a new forfend for sure the front screw was always tight water does some strange things to metal and wood none of them good. It is a shame that happened the metal was in very nice shape prior to the water damage

John Browning sold the rights to make his auto-loading shotgun to Remington for manufacture for the U.S. market as the Model 11 and it was very successful and popular. I make frequent use of this 1931 vintage Remington Model 11 in the field. Here it's hunting ducks at our old family place on the lake all day in the rain with a high that day of 34F. Still a durable and reliable gun at over 90 years old.

I hire a few "Prop" guns out to film and TV companies here in the UK, Uzi's, AK's and Glock's are the most popular, I have a full auto glock 18C that is amazing to see in action, all my props fire, have blow back and eject spent cartridges, the Uzi's are mental fun.

I have a plug fire Uzi movie gun. Old timer I bought it from was involved in 80s action movies(Golan Globus productions). He mentioned Invasion USA but couldn't say for sure this was in it or not. It has no prop company ID so no way to tell if story is true. Anyway, cool as hell.

BTW, I received a ton of PFC shells for this, as well as many other calibers. Big box full. By the time I found him, he only had the Uzi left and wanted to get rid of the rest of what he had in one lump. Have since found that the primers are unobtanium here in the US. Found one old timer, a toy dealer, that had some old stock...but before he could ship them he passed away. Gave up after that.

These are so realistic, I am told parts exchange with the real UZI, except bolt and barrel I imagine. I broke a piece on the top cover, and an UZI surplus part fit perfect.
