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

Thanks for the info. I thought the gun was a little older than that; my stepdad picked it up at an estate sale probably in the 90’s, so we really didn’t have any info about it.
Like I said earlier, I only shoot it every couple of years at skeet shoots. Other than that it’s just a pretty piece of furniture.
Eta: I took it on a pheasant hunt in SD several years ago just because it’s the nicest looking gun I have. The weather turned bad and was snowing pretty hard and it was COLD. Most of the guys with the fancy new guns couldn’t shoot because their actions were freezing up; the old A5 kept chugging along.

It will definitely do that!! The design is so simplistic its scary genius.. If you're like me and forget how time flies, your gun is 56 years old.. That's pretty old for a gun that still shoots like it was new lol..
I picked one up at an estate sale many years ago (1995ish) that was still in the box with the packing grease.. bidding topped out at like $380.. I couldn't believe it.
