re: Anything I should check on a old Browning A5 before firing it?

What info do you have on a 68G 30024 serial number if you don’t mind?

Starting in 1968 thru 1976 Browning started using a 2 digit year code followed by either an "M" for "Standard Weight" or a "G" for "Lightweight". This was followed by the serial number.

So your 68G is a 1968 lightweight and was the 30024th made since the SN change. It's a pre-75 so it was made in Belgium by FN. The 36th edition blue book has it valued at $1525. Add 60% in 20gauge, 15% for round knob NIB condition, and 15% for blonde wood but those were made mid 60's.

Very nice gun ya got there.
