The gun is mint near new 1969 Belgium 20ga Magnum 26" "SKEET" choked vent rib barrel. The only "SKEET" choked magnum 20ga I have ever seen. My cousin bought the gun brand new when he came home from Vietnam. It has only been shot a handful of times. The gun is unaltered with Org length of pull and horn butt plate. I have never even fired the gun, nor did my father before me. It's just sat in the gun safe for years, being cleaned and wiped down several times a year. Not a spot on the gun.

I want to trade it for a Browning Citori in 16ga in as nice a shape.

PM me if anybody has any interest
 
I'll have to weigh the gun and see. I'll get some pics up of it. I wanted this gun in the worst way. I eeewed and ooad it ever since my pops got it from my cousin. Now it's just sat in my gun safe, just like at the old man's. Just a shame such a sweet little 20 just sits going to waste. Only to be sold or worse yet..sit in my sons gun safe unused. This thing needs to see some time chasing roosters with someone who will cherish it in the way it deserves. I have two Magnum 20's. I want to keep the shooter that I won't mind using.

I have every gauge O/U except a 16 and 10, and I don't need no 10ga I have a autoloader already and ones enough.

George, I just weighed it. I call it 6-1/4lbs on my scale.

Geez, that' pretty light for a 20 ga. I suppose the Skeet choke would deter some but I would think with some of the Priarie Storm loads, since they pattern tighter, it would be a dandy pheasant gun. That has the square pistol grip and not the POW grip, right?

Want to trade for a 12 ga. Benelli Montefeltro?
 
Yep square grip, all the magnum 20's have the square grip. They never made a round grip magnum.

Not really interested in the Monti. I have one in 20ga.
 
Thanks, I looked but couldn't find anything. They have no search feature. I'm guessing a person might have to register to get a search option.
 
Point, hope you get what you are looking for!! I will keep my eyes and ears open here for you!!! :cheers:
 
Thanks guys for keeping a eye out. I appreciate it.:cheers:
 
I will sell it out right for $1400 plus shipping/insurance to your FFL
 
Here are a few pics
 
Onpoint, there is a A5 16 for sale right now on Calgun forums, the guys handle is "Cal gun laws suck" it is on the eighth page in right now . I hope this helps.
 
Thanks for the heads up

Ya that's Reed's.

I looked at that one. I have to move something before I can afford anything.

Thanks again

Onpoint

My first duck/dove hunting gun was a magnum 20 A5 that my stepdad got for me in '91 or '92. Good luck selling it. Someone will be very happy with that little gun. They're indestructible and not very common in mag 20.

I do have to disagree on the round grip. Mine has a round grip. All the A5s from the '90's had round pistol grips right up until Browning discontinued the A5. Here's a pic of a mag 20 A5 with a round grip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Browning_Auto-5_20g_Mag.jpg

I think what onpoint meant was that there were no Belgium made 20 Mag's with the round grip. Yours was made in Japan. Browning introduced the 20 Mag in 1967.

You are correct DZ, sorry for any confusion. I meant Belgium made magnum 20's.

Gotcha. I think I know what you're talking about. My stepdad has a bunch of A5s, and a couple of his very old Belgian light 12's have rounded grips that are halfway between a pistol grip and a straight stock.
