I might need a place to live for awhile as I am dead broke and the wife is going to throw me out if I buy one of these and she finds out.

A5 Browning
$400.00 Belgian 16ga. 26" cyl. (***) Parkerized on top of the frame. Refinished wood.

I found another for even less at $350 problem it it is a Belguim made gun and the add says it has screw in chokes. These must have been installed later and are scaring me off as it might be a poor job, plus it does not have a ribbed barrel.

Both of these are a steal as 16 guage A5 barrels alone are going for over $300.00

Hey Warpig dont let FEAR or COMMON SENSE stop ya, you never have before.

Easy-peasy.......

Take your Brownings and stand on a busy highway with a sign that says......

"Will Shoot For Food!"

Then there is the Buckmark rifle or a Visible Loader.

If I do squirrel away some money I will have to draw straws on how to spend it.

I really do need lighter shotgun for upland game. It will really save on my knee when walking. Either a 20 or 16 SxS or A5

Xracer · 08-22-2003, 08:52 AM

Well, Piggy......you just go get yourself a nice little Browning 20 and tell your wife that it's a fancy crutch for your bum knee.

And if she believes that one.......try selling her a bridge to finance the purchase of the rest of the guns you want!

Hey Jason -

Get which ever one you want.

Then bill it to the insurance company. Tell them it's part of a "physical therapy" program you have to take that requires you to walk and carry additional weight with you in order to build up the muscles in your knee.

Sounds like a plan to me.

08-22-2003, 10:05 AM

Now that is a good idea Ruffitt.

I wonder if I can get my doc to write a prescription for a new gun????????????????????????????????

armedandsafe · 08-22-2003, 12:23 PM

Only if you take him hunting with you. Ever seen a surgeon gut a deer? Scarrrrrrrry!

I know he deer hunts we already talked about that.

FN_Project90 · 08-23-2003, 03:53 PM

ummm I think I would use the money for something that I need right now in your situ...
but thats my opinion.

08-23-2003, 04:05 PM

I know it. And that is what I will probably do. If I do use any for play it will be to buy one of my boys a new bow as he has outgrown his.

But a guy's got to dream

bigboom338 · 08-24-2003, 06:51 AM

Pig I may have a solution to yer problem...........

Get a job ya bum.......LOL

FN_Project90 · 08-24-2003, 01:34 PM

I have a left hand compound bow I don't use. I shoot ambi with bows, and I prefer the righty that my father gave to me. Its a 25/50 with about a 55 lb draw right now. All it needs is a new string, the cable is fine.
other than shipping you could have it

08-24-2003, 02:47 PM

Hey thanks for the offer but we are all right handed bow shooters.

We shoot lefty on guns if you got one of them you can spare.

He has outgrown his cheap youth bow and is at the age where he is not big enough to use any of my bows and the the bows that fit him are not cheap like the little kid bows.

Been looking at the Browning Micro for him.

I told my wife that I was going to buy another rifle. She said she would leave me if I did. I'm sure going to miss her

08-28-2003, 06:50 PM

I did the right thing and with my wifes blessing bought my oldest boy a new bow, release, arrows, quiver. He is set for the next few years
