interested in a new recoil action style A-5...

the Franchi 48AL in sub-gauges. Funny though, you can buy original Browning A-5's for a few less bucks. The Franchi smoothed out the rough edges. Franchi is making some of the best autoloaders on the market...

No need for name calling.
I just didn't understand the purpose of your post. Judging from the lack of responses, I am not alone. I did not mean to offend. My apologies.

sorry! what does bigjrk stand for!?! I'm embarrassed...

No problem, just a misunderstanding. JRK is just my initials.
It also fits my sense of humor.

Gun Tests Recommends
Benelli M1 Super 90 Synthetic Semi-automatic 20 Gauge No. 11090, $1,000. Our Pick. Light, quick and easy to handle, plus good pointing ability: These qualities found favor with our test group. This is a fine field shotgun capable of handling hard use.

Franchi Model 48 AL Semi-automatic 20 Gauge No. 40205, $715. Don’t Buy. Imitating the venerable Browning A-5 was a good plan, but this gun’s finicky feeding, stout kick, and sluggish handling would make us shy away from it
