My granddad left me his Belgium A5 12 gauge. I need to take a picture of the owner's manual. He bought it for $199 from Mayo Gun and Supply in Cullman in September of 1970. Still works flawlessly.
Yep, early 70's A5 and BARs were bout $200, little bottom eject 22 was 90-100 bucks. Ahhhhh, the good ol' days.
