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

I have/had three Belgian A5’s that I’ve inherited from relatives.
One from my grandfather that’s a mid-40’s model.
One mid-50’s model from my wife’s father that is easily the cleanest one I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure it’s been shot more than 5 times.
One from my uncle that is an early 50’s model (since given back to my cousin when she had kids)
I guess I’m in the minority on this, but I just don’t get the love for A-5’s. I find them clunky and one of the most uncomfortable guns I’ve ever shot. Even after I checked the rings and everything.
Like others have said, I’d recommend having it checked out by a gunsmith if you’re not comfortable doing your own work.
Even if they’re not one of my favorites, I do enjoy breaking them down , cleaning them, and thinking about those men who taught me so much.
