Probably sacrilegious in most eyes, but this gun is 22yrs old and one of the last years of the original Auto-5 Stalker Mag 12. I have 2 newer still in the original boxes, a 97 and a 98(the last year for the Stalker)

I replaced the 32" barrel a several years ago with a 28" Hastings Wadlock barrel. I sold the original barrel that literally had 1000's of rounds thru it for $425 on eBay. I bought a blemished Wadlock barrel for the same money. Sold the original worn and gouged Browning stocks on eBay for $285, had a set that was like new that I paid $100 for. I am actually considering putting a set of Bell & Carlson Carbelite stocks on it. I tore it apart this year for the first time to clean it and replace all the springs. While it was apart I had Trinity Ordnance Cerakote the barrel, receiver and trigger guard in Midnight Bronze and sent all the internals (including the gold trigger) to Walter Birdsong for a coating of Black T(this thing is so slick I had hell getting it back together). I am going to hunt the next few weeks with it and then send the stocks off to be dipped in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades.

Here's a little preview before the stocks are dipped.

Looks really good David !!! Cant wait to see it in person.

great looking gun
