I had a pre-War A5 I inherited from my grandfather. It had the safety in the front of the trigger guard bow, like an M1 Garand, fast and easy to use, even with gloves on. I killed the first quail I ever shot at with it.
It was my favorite until I got a Browning Superposed and got used to shooting it. Then, for some reason, I became aware of the noise the A5 mechanism makes when cycling and found it distracting, so I passed it on to my brother. Before that, many a quail, duck and crow had fallen victim to it.
