Description:
Excellent condition/collector grade 1973 Browning A5 Magnum 20 Gauge - Belgium made.  A complete and thorough description and packing list is shown down below.   Modified VR and Buck barrels.  This is not a "Buck Special A5", but the Buck Barrel in this offering is Belgium made.

As with any firearm, this A5 was test fired at the factory.  It appears unfired, or fired a few times - if any, commercially.  Shipping and Insurance is included in the price(see details below).  Please email me with any questions or for additional pictures.

GOAL:  
Seller's goal is rather not to be the best, but to perform my best.  A Buyer's satisfaction is important to me.  If Buyer has read all the above, Buyer shall reasonably understand that Seller has taken time and consideration to explain how most transaction processes are to be handled and managed.  Seller understands there can be exceptions and those will be treated as such.  However, most will agree it is easier for a Buyer and Seller to transact business when the responsibility and accountability are explained at the front-end versus trying to determine somewhere in the middle of a transaction, or after the fact.  Seller tries to check emails daily or at least every other day.  Please be patient with Seller's reply regarding email questions.  Seller thanks you for your patience and understanding in advance.  I am human and can make mistakes and can work to resolve mistakes into suitable outcomes.  If Buyer has any questions, please ask prior to purchasing. Thank you for looking.
