The 3 wheeler is an ‘84 big red. The straight grip was partially restored before I purchased. I thought about having it rust blued but it looks...
Here’s my 1905 I had out a few weeks ago. [IMG]
I don’t think they are very common except on early auto 5’s.
Really nice find, thanks for sharing.
Was able to remove enough material from the forearm to get the bolt to lockup properly. It shoots flawlessly now. While I had it apart I checked...
This is indeed the issue. I’ll have to find a new forearm or find a way to remove some material to make this one work.
Got back to this a5 again today. The forearm appears to be the issue. It won’t allow the shotgun to go into battery unless I loosen the forearm. I...
Should be a date code on the magazine too assuming you have the original with metal follower? Are you able to post closeups of the date codes?
Anyone know what differences/changes were made in hi power magazines through the years? Thumb print model, t series, c series?

Just missed it. Very cool auto 5.
Looks like a very nice find. Good buy. Does it have the speed loader?

Correct, in the chamber the barrel extension is prtotruding more than I’m used to seeing. It’s like the forearm is pushing the barrel down too far?...
This is bothering me some. Seems like too much of the barrel extension showing. Caused by a bad fitting forearm? Haven’t ever seen one stick out...
This shotgun is marked 65mm which surprised me as I did not know they made 12 gauge’s in anything other than 70mm but I guess they did for the world...
I’m wondering about these small screws. Seem to be protruding too much. The heads look to big to me. I picked up a 1927 in this same deal and they...
