re: Anything I should check on a old Browning A5 before firing it?

Don’t oil the tube. Clean the recoil spring. Pay attention to whether you put the bottom ring with the seat up or the flat side up. It’s simple and quick to change them up, but you have to have them configured correctly.


Good Shooting.

Thanks! I'm pretty excited to shoot it. I was kind of hesitant to use it because of the sentimental value but it wasn't given to me to collect dust.

My dad still shoots my grandpa's model 11. We have a box end from when he bought it showing that he paid $16 for it. I've been enjoying reading up on the history of them. I don't remember the exact year but this one was made in Belgium.
