I sure do. I killed my first deer with it, and I wouldn't take nothing for it.

Thinking about trying a 1953 Light Twelve for some squirrels in a week or so. Just for nostalgia.

I’d love a real clean Light Twenty or Sweet Sixteen but I’m not willing to pay what they bring these days

I've got my dad's he bought at words in scottsboro in the 60's its always been a killer.

Hell of a thread resurrection lol

dadgum sure was. I didn’t even realize it. I just fell in line behind doc’s comment

I still shoot doves with mine. Got it for Christmas when I was 12 in 1972. 12 gauge, 2 3/4 modified barrel. Killed a lot of critters with that gun.

Does a model 11 Remington count?

I sold my A5 to a friend who really wanted it. It was a modified choke and I dont have much use for one of those.

Got mine in 1970. Still have it and it’s a turkey killer!

i have the trio, highly encourage anyone with one they say kick to replace the spring and collar, will take them back to very little recoil. i shot sporting clays with the 20 for multiple years, i added the midwest gun works mercury filled end cap, has an 2-3” tube that extends toward the muzzle from the cap. no muzzle jump at all

also got colonial arms, when they were in selma, to make custom choke sets for the 12 and 20 gauge

😂yep! I figured I’d get a comment. I was scouring the web for some screws for this old gun and somehow this thread popped up so I went with it!

I’ve got a Model 11 12Ga, bought it 12 or so years back, paid $250.

I've got an old 16 with a 26" IC barrel that it seems I can't miss with.

Several years ago I bought an A5 magnum Belgium gun with a 26" Invector plus Japan barrel on it at a pawn shop. Because it had a badly cracked stock, I got it for $275, which I thought was a pretty good deal at the time. Looking stuff up later, I realized that the Japan tubed barrels were going for about twice what I paid for the gun. I replaced the stock on it and refinished both stock and forearm so they matched and gave it to my son when he outgrew his youth shotgun. That's what he hunts with when we are running dogs.

Still have a sweet 16 regret selling the 12 magnum

I have a A5 magnum twelve with a full choke 30" barrel. I killed a truck load of long beards with that gun

My family is from Arkansas and every man in the clan has one or more A5's. Mine is a Light12 my dad bought for me the day I was born. I also have a Rem Model 11 (same gun) that's pre-war with the suicide safety inside the trigger guard. Both are still in use and have killed many a bird.

I'll inherit my dad's A5 someday, with the extra 'duck' barrel as he calls it.

Love 'em.

All Belgium: light 12, magnum 12,pre-war 16 with a polychoke,20. Don't have a magnum 20.....and folks are PROUD of them. Been using the standard 12 and 20 since I was 12 years old. I turkey hunt with an L.C. Smith.....everything else with one of the A-5s. These days my favorite for doves is the 16. I've been Duck hunting in Beaver Ponds and dunked them completely under water accidentally. Pour the water out and they NEVER miss a beat. Try that with a gas gun.....especially a damn' Remington 1100!! None of the A5's have ever jammed.....and I'll be 66 this month.

My bucket list shotgun is a light 20 round knob Maroku with the invector choke system.

I duck hunt with a a5 and dove hunt with daddys old model 11. There aint no telling how many ducks i killed with the model 11 before steel shot

I use my dad's every year on at least one turkey. I also use a model 12 and an old 1100. I don't shoot TSS.
