The Browning A5 was first produced in 1903 by FN, and was produced more or less continuously until 1940 when Germany invaded Belgium. During the war, Browning had Remington produce the A5, and resumed production in Belgium after 1951. Due to rising prices, Browning took A5 production to Japan in the late 1970s. Production was finally stopped in 1998, the reason cited was declining sales (gas guns were really getting good by then). For a gun to be produced almost continually for 90+ years is amazing. Very few other guns can claim that.

I have several of them I hunt with regularly (two 12s and a 20). Good shooters can be found for $350-$500. The Belgian guns get the most attention, but the Japanese guns are just as good, and are available with removable chokes.
