In the early days of guns for me all the duracoat I saw was pretty thick. This duracoat is not, showing through is the rust pitting. I chose not to spend the money to do anything about the pits. Adds character. I am impressed with the finish done by my buddy Greg, a new member here. I’ll get a whole gun picture tomorrow.

After showing it to a few guys, I Now have orders for two. Anyone got any rough old A5s for sale?

I have two Auto 5's from 1966. I have been thinking about doing this to one of them for quite a while. Just curious.... what kind of pattern do you get when you cut the barrel and have no choke?

So the barrel I bought has a Lyman adjustable on it. I’m not a huge fan of the look, but have not fired this shotgun yet with that barrel. I am thinking about taking another 2 inches off and threading it for thread in chokes. I want this to be an all around gun. Hoping to get a rifled choke and see how slugs do. Will report back.

Just an fyi: I read somewhere that auto 5 barrels may be too thin for screw- in chokes. Keep us posted.
