Is that a Yentzen call next to the D-2? Nice s-By-s.

What shot shells are going to use? I would hate to see you ruin it by trying to push steel through the barrels.

Very nice old shotgun. The duck call is actually a Sure shot deluxe. Same folks that make the yentzen.

I shot my first turkey with an old side by side like that. Gun was by great-great grandfather's. My grandfather currently has it in his safe.

I love the old guns. They just have better lines and feel to them. Hevi-shot Classic Doubles is plenty soft and not excessive on chamber pressure either. It patterns great out of my old 16ga guns. Enjoy the old lady!

The hevi shot classic doubles is what ill shoot through it for ducks and pheasant and light dove loads for dove. So I couldn't take it I tore it apart and got everything ready to be sent off to have color case hardened. Ill glass bed the stock and refinish it and repair some cracks.

Browning did not make the Mag 12 A5 till 1958.

I shot this turkey in 2010 with this 1910 Browning auto 5 16 gauge.

I'm no gun expert, I couldn't find my serial number on Brownings website and a gunsmith gave me the '29.

The Magnum 12 gauge a5 letter code is V. The date code started in 1958. 8v 1958 9v 1959 0v 1960 ect. Serial number
9v
01234 would be Mag 12 number 1234 made in 1959

Re: My brand spanking new duck killing machine! - 03/27/13 02:41 AM
Ok that makes sense mine is a 6v

Very cool, when my dad passed a few years ago he had those 2 exact calls. I got the Olt my brother got the Yentzen. Pretty cool I still shoot his 1100.

An old man I hunt with used to hunt with George Yentzen, and he has the call he made his patent for the Yentzen calls off of. It's made out of a Stanley screwdriver handle, pretty cool.
