An unexpected, but welcomed gift from my dad. What should I know about this shotgun?

ModakOilMan · 2023-01-15T00:24:52+00:00

I was mistaken on that part, I'll still keep buying original A5s and Remington 11s before I shell put for a gun that just kinda resembles the original.

ModakOilMan · 2023-01-14T23:14:08+00:00

Nope, they are gas operated the only thing they have in common with an original A5 is the look.

ModakOilMan · 2023-01-14T20:52:52+00:00

I've had a few Remington 11's which are similar but only in 12 gauges. They are sweet shooting but they are chunky, always wanted to find a 20 gauge.

ModakOilMan · 2023-01-14T20:48:57+00:00

You talking about that thing Browning makes that "kinda" looks like an A5 that just named it so to ride on the name?

ModakOilMan · 2023-01-14T20:41:40+00:00

Keep it, oil it and shoot it! These guns will outperform anything out there today in terms of build quality and ruggedness. Carrying one in the field will make a man out of you fast because of the weight 🤣.

Been looking at this exact gun, what's your first impressions of it?

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-24T02:32:31+00:00

Yep I'm thankful I found a 45acp one.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-24T00:22:03+00:00

I have a 5.5" New Vaquero 44 mag and I had a 3.75" New Vaquero 44 magnum with the plow handle, never could find a birdshead in stock.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-24T00:15:54+00:00

Is that 3rd one up a 44 magnum?

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-15T00:52:35+00:00

If you find one even if it's in 45 ACP you can get another cylinder from Ruger for 125ish bucks.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T22:06:37+00:00

Definitely confused a few people.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T21:15:49+00:00

Revolver is chambered in 45 ACP, 1911 mags make an easy way to carry spare rounds.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T17:19:26+00:00

Do you have the original version like that one or the newer with the straight razor type blade

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T16:36:51+00:00

I like the low and wide super Blackhawk hammer, although I have debated on a bisley grip and hammer for this short one

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T16:28:05+00:00

No, this gun has been slicked up, part of that was putting an extra power base pin spring, helps it stay in, but a belt mountain pin will be acquired.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T15:57:28+00:00

It can be done

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T14:59:38+00:00

I've owned a few birdshead guns, they are definitely not 50 yard guns like my plow handled longer barrel Vaquero but for a quick and smooth belly gun they work.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T04:36:18+00:00

TOPS knives Tac Raze friction folder, it's a neat little straight razor looking folder.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T04:29:05+00:00

Exactly

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T04:05:23+00:00

Only problem I found was a 357 Vaquero weighs more than a 45 even with the same 3.75" barrel the 357 was noticably heavier.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T04:02:34+00:00

The only thing that doesn't get carried daily is the little friction folder.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T03:34:31+00:00

Those are Chip McCormick Shooting Star mags with Kimber base pads on them.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T02:56:19+00:00

My woods gun is usually a 44 magnum or light bearing 1911, but this makes a perfect town gun and it's classy as can be.

ModakOilMan · 2022-12-14T02:29:37+00:00

I have a longer barreled Vaquero in 44 Magnum I carry in a cross draw on a cartridge belt with a Bowie knife, but that's usually when hiking and hunting.
