I saw this a lunch today and it came home with me. It's not without a few flaws but I don't see these very often where I live.

Thanks Mike.
Would the serial number make it a first year or second year build?

The Poly really is the most utilitarian choke system for a field gun. Quick and you can dial in some nice patterns. Very cool humper!

What kind of choke device is that?

Thanks. I thought it was, but there have been other variable choke devices and I couldn't see the lettering.

Nice score!!! That makes me jealous. I’ve bought 3 16ga A5’s from the 40’s the past few months. I’m am becoming addicted. I hope to find an early gun like that someday. Did you get a good deal on it?
