Agreed 2 Dogs. To me the humpback takes me back to hunting with my grandpa. Not only is the A5 a beautiful gun, it's got alot of sentimental value to me. It leaves the gun safe more in Sept and Oct than all the newer guns sitting beside it, for that very reason. Would I take it to Argentina? No. Do I have other more reliable options in the gun safe? Yes. Is it a 100% a solid, reliable shotgun? Yes. Will I take it on multiple shoots a year here in the panhandle and all over south Bama while leaving all the others at home? Absolutely. I'm going to disagree with you on not calling it a great all around shotgun. JB made a truly great gun when he designed the A5. Are there better/improved options today? Yes. The A5 led the way for autoloading shotguns and made them what they have become today. So yes, the A5 is a "great" gun and while it has some issues, if used in the right applications with the right loads, it is just a reliable as anything you can tote into the woods, and more reliable than some others.  The reason I said by todays standards it may not be a great shotgun is I don't think it would be the OPs "cup of tea". However , they are mine. They are GREAT, when the other auto's have been in production 115 years they will be great too.
