Bought this Browning A5 Light 12 (Japan) today (pics)

A friend at work was selling it for $750. I offered him $650 and he said it was a done deal. My b nlaw said I got a great deal. The only reason I bought it was because it had never been shot and still had the tags on it. I only bird hunt two or three times a year and have numerous other shotguns. My question is should I save this gun and not shoot it since it never has been shot or save it for my kids?

Nice.

That sounds like a good deal to me but I don't know what they go for. Would be cool to give it to your kids when they are old enough.

Put in gun sock and gun safe. DO NOT shoot it.

Does it shoot only 2 3/4 shells?

Correct only 2 3/4

That's all you need, 2.75 that is.

Wish mine still looked like that. I beat the shite out of mine duck hunting saltwater marsh. Later had it parkerized and put a synthetic forearm and stock on it. Looks great but not as sweet as that.

Ya, you could keep it and give it to a kid for a badarse christmas/birthday present, or you could sell it for like 1200 bucks and make some money.

damn nice gun and you got a hell of a deal on it, too. it is a nice gun, but not valuable enough to be putting away forever, unless you just don't want to use it.
Posted on 12/1/16 at 8:36 pm to rouxgaroux
I would shoot it. Guns are meant to be shot.

beautiful gun, you got a great deal I think.
On a diff note, don't think I have ever seen a shotgun displayed on a kids art picnic table.

Great gun! Unfortunately there isn't much value in the Jap guns as collector's. You may find one for sale for $1500 but it isn't going to bring that. Especially for a Jap Light 12 which is the most produced model of that era. You got a good deal on it still, but real world value is going to be around $1000 in mint condition like yours. I'd shoot the heck out of it. Besides what gun is going to mean more to your kids
A) a gun that they saw in the safe all its life or
B) the gun that they always seen Dad use on many hunts
I think we all know the answer to that question

frick that. If it has a mod imp cyl choke, I'd shoot it at everything and the 870 would get permanent closet duty.

Sweet! I've been looking for one like that.
I would shoot it. Ducks, dove, whatever. Not a collectors item.

I would shoot it too. What's the point in buying a gun and not shooting it? I wouldn't take it to the marsh and beat the hell out of it, but I take it out to shoot clay or a dove shoot or something.
