Another a5 prototype?

12ga not mine. Very interesting though? Owner is trying to get accepted here I believe.

This action is the same 12ga action in back of S &V book marked sculpted prototype. I do believe there was a guy at FN doing this before the light models we all know today.

Like that, certainly different and stylish
What’s the little pawl for on the front of the safety?

Im trying to start a thread and post pics but it would seem to be to complex for my feeble mind!

Here are some of Matt’s pics



barrel serial doesn’t match and I believe someone else besides fn tried to lighten it, has holes in loop

There is a pic of a lightened barrel in the A5 book. It just doesnt have as many holes as this one. I agree the barrel is probably not original.
