Looks like an extension to the (normally 4-shot)mag-tube; probably 10 rounds?? The Browning A5 is a recoil-operated semi-auto, and can produce some pretty tight patterns with a full-choke barrel. I shot a feral pig(Years ago) with ours using SG ammo at about 20 yards, and the pattern barely spanned 6 inches on the pig. Our A5 was one of the first production run, and I think it was made just after 1900. However, I think that ribbing along the top of the barrel is some years later in the evolution of the A5. No doubt I could be wrong, but that receiver looks suspiciously similar to ours, and it would make sense to have a semi-auto if possible for that sort of work... You could probably do some serious damage if you were using the right ammo, and were close enough! I wonder if it was being used for air-to-air work, or ground attack. Air to air makes more sense, as you would be pretty exposed getting low enough to do any damage to ground forces. I wonder if he was excited the day they upgraded him to a machine-gun?? An interesting pic! |

The airplane might be a Curtiss Junior (mid thirties) and the targets might
be wolves on which there was a bounty back then. "Don Pyeatt" wrote in message ... Armament appears to be a 12 gauge. |
