Blind pig finds an acorn.....

Post by .45colt »

Like most Browning Auto 5's the one I got last spring came with a 29 1/2" full choke barrel. I've been looking for an open choked barrel for some time. I bid on this one and was very surprised to have won it. it appears to be absolutely new , in the yellowed Browning box. It is addressed to Gimbel Bros in Milwaukee. the postal shipping label reads May 23/57.

If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Always liked the looks of these. One of my dove hunting pals has had one forever and is crazy for it. He is about 85yo, played football for the Army. Good score.

Nice! I am happy when I find two socks that match.
