Browning a-5

ddeyo1 · January 25, 2009, 06:30 PM

I have a browning a-5 light 12 made in belgium in the earky 70's. My forearm has cracked to the point where the gun is currently not useable. Ive been looking online for a nice high grade walnut replacement forearm (and possibly a matching set) but i havent had much luck. Most places that have them are sold out. wondering if anyone knows where i can get one.
Thanks

Yeah i called on theyre matched sets and they were out. Im kinda looking for a matched pair because my buttstock is really beat too (grampa accidently left it on top of his car after pheasant hunting and drove away

) So i guess im kinda asking if anyone knows of any matched sets out there. And i do plan on calling midwest back sometime soon

Just cracked?
In this image, the rear stock of this 336 is repaired.

It was involved in a rollover suv wreck that left it in 4 pieces. My dad likes to piddle with wood working and used some "west system" epoxy and put it back together. I am confident it will never fail. Good luck no matter how the fix goes!

You might try this guy. Maybe he can try to match up something for you.

I've bought parts from him before and he was OK to deal with.

the forearm on the A-5 is probobly about an 8th of an inch thick and its split from one end to the other with a 1" by 3" chunk missing. I dont think i can fix it, and thats why i was looking for a new one. Ill definately try gun-parts.com and see what i can find there. thanks for the help.
