Not the A5. That was the Remington Model 11 Sportsman that had the bolt buffer riveted into the back of the receiver. Remington made the Model 11 slightly different from the A5 (no magazine cutoff, coil spring under the bolt release, slightly shorter receiver, etc). Remington actually made the A5 for Browning during and immediately after WW2, since the Belgian plant was "unavailable". After 1953, Browning resumed importing the A5 from FN.
