I would have to say that the new ones are lighter and better overall. Although, I have several older BAR's that are Belgium made and they are a much better gun then the new shorttracks.

Default Value of our A5 for sale?

Someone was telling us this is one of the best old A5's they have seen.

What are your thoughts on our Price? To much to little?

We have it at $800 in the store.

Thanks everyone!

I kinda feel the same about the new mustangs and camaro's but starting to warm up to them.
The barrel don't kick the shell out on the new ones?

Guess i might as well pile on in support of the older a-5s. One is a sweet 16 made in 1959 and the other is a 1972 20 ga my mom bought for dad as a surprise gift when she knew we couldnt afford it. I use both for quail hunting once a year and really love the guns. I do find they kick a noticeable amt more than my other gas guns. The a-5s soend most of their time in my safe but i pull them out periodically amd admire them. Pretty guns.

I agree, they are a work of art. I own several fine examples of these guns and I hunt with them every year. I admire mine as well, when it's in my hands afield. Lol. JMHO
