Zero effect; the gun was in a case in an annex. All the damage you're seeing came from the high concentration of acid in the smoke which super catalyzed the already dormant oxidation of the bluing process and made this ferrite based result. My life would be a lot easier if it got here sooner, but it came a long way.Quote:

I like ranger green because army.
I did some light research on "ranger colors" awhile back and found that historically they were pretty speckled. I finally settled on a light brown as probably being by far the most representative color of the colonial and Revolutionary War era rangers. But all I was trying to do was pick a shade I thought would trim out a line drawing of a Revolutionary War battle scene without taking one's eye away from the scene to the frame. Interestingly, a committee got together to frame a much fancier presentation piece related to the same battle at about the same time I was making my selection, and as far as I could tell from a photographic image of the finished piece later on, they came up with the identical color right down to or very near the specific shade. I was basically going for the natural color of deerskin and/or butternut, because "butternut" (or at least acorn) was a readily available natural dye... and I guess that committee came to pretty much the same conclusion. There's no such thing as a specific shade that is butternut, and deerskin isn't an exact color either, so I went for what I figured a nut dye would be like with considerable sun-fading.
Only you could make a whole paragraph out of that nonsense and then carry me all the way to the end of it.Quote:

Speaking of Auto5s and Gay... I've got an Auto5 made in the 1920s, I think for the French market. Apparently the French only allowed semi-auto shotgun shell capacity of TWO, and... better yet, there are no "user serviceable" parts, i.e. there is no magazine plug to take out. The damn thing is "hardwired" at a magazine capacity of TWO, period. No wonder they lost Round Two with the Germans soon after. But, at least it's 12 ga.
Tio WS, you aren't talking about a Browning Double Automatic are you?
No. This is an A5 that only holds 2 shells that was made a long time before the Browning Double Automatic... best I recall, 1928 or thereabouts. Far as I can see, the only thing about it that stands out as better than a double-barrel, is, I guess it's probably lighter, but mostly the automatic aspect of it reduces the recoil considerably.
Hmmm. This was sold to me as an A5, but apparently it is a first-year-of-production-ish Browning A3.

You will have to get an A3 barrel for the gun. The barrel lug is in a different laocation.
Your gun was made in 1939 just before the Browning works in Belgium shut down because of Nazi occupation. I have an A5 that is numbered 219333 and it has Nazi ordinace marks.
While some modern Browning literature shows the A3 starting production in starting in 1932,manufactoring started as early as 1928. I have an European Browning catalog that shows both the A5 and the A3. As,Marlands said, the A3 did not show up here until 1932 even though some American gun writers reviewed the A3 at least as early as 1930.
The A5 and A3 were serial numbered in the same batch of serial numbers as the A5s.

It's been a long time since I fired that gun, but three rounds if one was chambered seems right.
