Yeah mine will seat as well and look just like that. But flip it over and you'll see the barrel is too far rearward in the ejection port.
Oh I know that. But I don't want to change anything on this gun (the original barrel, receiver, forearm.) The only thing foreign to this is the...
I'll probably buy a Jap invector barrel for it before I get around to modifying this forearm or barrel. Fortunately I have no money in this old...
Yeah it will be harder but I'd rather take some metal off the barrel than wood off the forearm.
Awhile back I bought an early 50's Sweet 16 along with an extra barrel... a 26" MOD choke converted barrel. I already had my shooter Sweet 16 so I...
Thanks @Rudolph31 Apparently mine has been converted because the ejector does move. And the barrel ring is not on the ramp like yours. I suppose...
Does the serial # on the barrel ring match the serial # everywhere else? A few months back I bought a Sweet sixteen at too good a price to pass up....
yes I know. I wasn't sure if the matte rib would extend all the way out in front of the bead, though. just thinking that if it had been cut down,...
I guess the only way to know for sure if it was a 24" barrel from the factory is to get a letter from Browning?
Follow up question... the other, older barrel is from a 1928, 16/65 gun so that's a 2 9/16" chamber. It seems to fit fine on my 1967 gun but will it...
Guy had this 16 for sale along with another 26" Ogden barrel, Mod choke. Well my other Sweet 16 is a 67 VR IC choke, so I wanted the Mod barrel and...
I have... I've looked at all of the big names, even Midwest Gun Works who specializes in Brownings. Nobody, to my knowledge, makes replacement wheel...
I bought a little beater SA-22 a couple of years ago... an early 60's model but with a leaf rear sight. Trying to find a replacement wheel sight....
Are there any sources available that estimate the rarity of choked on Belgian guns? As in: 30% of Light 12's are Full 40% are Mod 20% are IC 5%...
this is cool news, Rob. Thanks. sounds like a great pheasant/wood duck gun, to me.
The compass makes the most sense of anything I've heard. If it was a factory option, I'd guess this was bored for a compass, then they didn't...
Here is the little area of wood on top of the comb. Looks like an inlay of some sort. Finish is seamless on top so it would have been in before it...
thanks Rudolph. See many A5's with the serial number in all of those places?
Great forum here. I can see myself spending a bunch of time because I love these guns. Anyways, I just bought a Belgian A5 Light Twenty but it has...
