Price on a A-5 410 grade 3?
« on: October 14, 2011, 01:44:11 PM »
A friend of mine has a grade 3 A-5 in 410 he is thinking of selling. Does anybody out there know the value of the gun. In my 35 years of fooling with guns this is the only one i have ever seen. Any help will be appreciated.

It would be priceless, as Browning never made an Auto 5 in .410.

That's what they say, but it still exists. Nice one too. Inlay nice wood.

The only possibility would be an experimental, undocumented, hand made tool room sample, that would be worth about the price of a new home to serious Browning collectors.  I am sure, considering the potential value and rarity, you friend wouldn't mind if you posted a few detailed pictures???

 If it exists I'd buy it if the price was close to right.

That's what I get for listening to somebody without seeing it myself. It turns out it was a MDL 42 instead of a A-5, finally got to see it today. Sorry guys my hopes were up also.

They are priceless, since Browning didn't make the A-5 in .410 bore.  Could it be one of the newer semi-autos or a Superposed/Citori?

Tgun,

Ya got to bring it into the house in stages....Not just hit her with it cold. First get it behind the truck seat for a while. Then send her on a shoping trip and bring it into the house, oh say under the bed or back of the closet, in a old gun case.  :o Then after a few months you can start taking it out to shoot, but carry it past her in the old case.  ::) Then a couple years later try cleaning it while watching tv with her. When she expresses suprise at your "new gun" respond with " oh this old thing I've had this for years, I just don't shoot it much"...  ;)

Regards,

I usually leave it at a buddy's house for a few months then bring it home. But she got wise so I've got to lay low for a while.
