@@colinwright9191 double check the action spring and make sure there isn’t something there keeping the bolt assembly from coming all the way back. I would start there

@@randygroves1114 absolutely, glad you enjoyed!

Not that I am aware of!

@southgasportsman20 so it's just wood? I've seen some people talking about adding a pvc "shim" in the forend to act like a cushion so to speak.. We can't figure out why this thing keeps breaking forends.

@@jwatkins9520 I have never noticed anything but wood. You may just badly need to upgrade to a new recoil spring. Also, when you tighten down the foreend cap, loosen it one click and this helps with the slamming of the barrel as it fires

Yes sir it can be challenging but a very fun lake! Thank you!

Barrel construction is identified on the barrel. On the left side of barrel when shouldered near the receiver. Browning used the * system. 1 * = full. 2 * = modified. 3 * = cylinder

@@southgasportsman20 yeah i saw that online but in this case nothings there OR its rubbed off over time

@SP0RTYinCA I’m not sure then. Is it a Belgium made or Japan made barrel?

@@southgasportsman20 so to be safe i used a caliper , its a FULL choke at.685

@@humpy936 No problem, thank you for watching!

@@mikepks No prob, glad you enjoyed!

@@Paul-i2s No sir this would have been Oct 2022

@@southgasportsman20 We were there Nov hunt last year. My buddy got a 8 and I got a 9. Beautiful place.

@@Paul-i2s awesome yessir it is!

You’ve got to reach in and hold the shell latch down while sliding the trigger assembly in place

My shell latch seems to be bent...will not allow the trigger assembly to get past it...I'll try to straighten it a little if that is advisable

Yes sir are you talking about the pizza place out there close to the lake?

@@southgasportsman20 yes

Yes sir very familiar with it, how come?

Haha wow! Thanks for the info! Good to know! Yep it’s forced in by a small retaining ball.

@@CarolinaReaperr They are definitely fun!

They are Redleg stencils

@@johnnyhernandez2436 no problem and thank you for watching!

@@pistolpaulie4871 Thank you!!

Yes sir it is

Yes it is! Got to get out there early!

The Satilla

For sure!!

I was more west of hortense. It’s still several hours for me to drive ha

It was fun! You should go with us some time!

Cool! No sir we are down in Georgia at this spot. Sure can’t beat creek fishing

Not that I am aware of. I own a model 11 and do not recall it being an identical system to this. However, the Remington would still have the action spring and recoil spring that could wear out and need changing over time

@southgasportsman20 Ok, thanks, I just bought a Remington model 11. I'm trying to learn how to check it out and make sure it's good to go

@Smooththatsme Nice! You will enjoy it. A few things: Make sure the foreend cap is always on tight so the recoil won’t slam and crack the foreend too bad. And double check those springs and you’ll be good to go! I love all of my old a5 recoil style guns

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed!

Cool! No problem, glad you enjoyed!

Thank you!

Thank you for your comment! It was definitely a great experience. I really hope to get back and do it in the fall when the weather is nice. Glad you enjoyed the video!

I value your opinion 100%. Our game-bird population is struggling. Turkeys and other ground nesting birds such as bobwhite quail are struggling to say the least. This is largely due to habitat loss. However, predators do play a part in this. Animals such as bobcats, coyotes, and fox eat the young birds and eggs, and nest predators such as opossum and raccoons also feast on the eggs. They can bust up an entire nest. The traps aide in controlling these populations. I can assure you the traps don’t cause any pain. In fact I have purposely put my hand in these traps to show others they do not hurt. The traps portrayed in movies which cause pain are grizzly bear traps and they have teeth and have long been banned. These newer models are referred to as offset jaw traps and they have a gap in there that does not allow complete closure on the foot. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer. Thanks again for your comment!

@@southgasportsman20 coyotes, I completely understand are an issue. Living out very rural, I see and hear them all the time. My dogs have chased them off many times. I know they prey on deer fawns and other native wildlife species... they have no natural predator where I live. Hunting them is necessary for many reasons. However, bobcats are rarely even seen. I've seen maybe 2 in the area I live in and I have lived here for 10 years. Fox... pretty much the same as bobcats. I keep chickens... if there were a big issue with them, I'd be one of the ones to shoot them, for obvious reasons. But that has not been the case ever. There is a fox that hangs around my property, it's a female fox and she seems to prefer to give birth around my house. I hear her and her kits. None of these animals has posed a threat to my animals, including my chickens and pigeons. What I do have an issue with is possum. They eat the heads off my chickens... leave the rest. And I do have to shoot them for that reason. I don't like the idea of killing any animal that I am not going to eat. Not even for fur. But I do realize that once some animals discover a food source, like possum, they don't stop and they don't just go away. And I also realize that my particular situation and observation may not be the one others see. However, I will never see native animals as a huge issue. I think it is mostly the coyotes doing most of what you are seeing with the birds. I can remember when they were not here and there was no issue with numbers of nesting birds. By the way, I rescued a mourning dove 5 years ago. My dog brought it up one night as a fledgling that apparently got pushed or fell out of it's nest. It could not fly and could not feed itself. I still have him! Best pet bird I ever had! Yes, I know people hunt them. But this little guy is an awesome bird pet! I did try to set him free when he could feed himself, but he didn't want to go. So he lives on my back porch (screened in back porch). He's happy and healthy. I respect hunting. I grew up in a family of hunters. But when animals come onto my property, it's like they know they are safe from that... as long as they don't mess with my chickens, my cat and my dogs. I had one cat that was taken by an owl even. I have a lot of predatory birds around. Hawks and falcons nesting even. But they all serve a purpose in the balance of our system. My chickens can't free range because of them. They get my snakes and mice. Squirrels too I suppose. Balance is key, I do know that. I figured that there had to be a reason. But I do not think bobcats and fox are the primary issue. Usually, decreased numbers are a result of invasives and loss of habitat. Florida is very messed up now for those reasons. As far as the traps go... still not fond of that method. My dogs rarely get out and roam too much, but they have gotten out before. I'd hate if they got caught up in one and became a meal because they were trapped. One of my fears. I have gators around also. Swampy land where I live. Dang sorry I wrote so much! LOL! My southern is showing I think.

@@southgasportsman20 one other thing that needs to be considered... our lack of the Red Wolf. The true Red Wolf... not the coyote hybrid. We're suppose to have a wolf ... and that may be why some of the other animals that are not native are taking a hold here.

The charging handle came out from the increased force applied when everything was out of sync. The action spring plug was broken and impeding the action spring from working appropriately

Forgive me on my earlier comment. I was thinking you had asked under my video of the Browning Auto 5. With these Remingtons, I do not shoot steel bc I’ve heard these gun barrels were not proofed for steel either. Having said that, I do have friends that have shot a lot of steel through the Remington 1100’s with no issues. But there is always a chance you will scar up your barrel with steel

@@southgasportsman20 heard about the Modified choke getting budgy and possible other damage

Yes sir sounds like it could definitely happen but I’m not 100% sure. I’ve just avoided it myself

There is a date code online. Search browning auto 5 serial number formula. The serial # will be just above where you slide the shell in on bottom of receiver

Thanx a bunch!✌️🇺🇲

@@AlanMorris-f5f no problem!! Happy to help

They can definitely die off and not make it, but we choose to let go the big ones just because we don’t eat them. At least gives the next person a chance at the catch

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

Glad you enjoyed. Thank you for watching!

Yes sir!

Yes it is!

Awesome! That means your recoil spring is still in tip-top shape. By leaving it like that it will fatigue your gun much less. When it starts jamming some on light loads, you will know it’s time to configure it for light loads. Thanks for the comment!!

No problem! If you have been shooting 3” shells you would have to have a magnum Auto 5. From what I am told, it will cycle the 2.75” shells also but maybe not as efficiently as the 3”? Let me know how it does for you. The only method I know of for adjusting these guns is by swapping around the rings like I explained in this video. Thanks for the comment and keep that old girl shooting!

For sure!

I agree, thank you!!

Sounds great, congrats on your “new” shotgun! Doesn’t get any nicer than these A5’s

I can’t exactly remember but it wasn’t too far from Minnie’s
