Rhodesian Army A5 s/n RA-404

This thing has no business being as good of a trap gun as it is. But me and my friend were having serious success today

Did you fully load the magazine when you shot trap?

Yep, all the way. Why not?

It did occasionally fail to eject on the cheap bulk pack Federal game loads. Not surprising. But I'd say out of 100 shells maybe 6 times so not bad at all.

I expected the recoil to be horrendous given its a smaller lighter A5. Was pleasantly surprised. Maybe the shorter and less heavy barrel made it more bearable

I was shooting with a woman I'm friends with who is very slight of build and she too had no issue handling it. Not that I'm exactly a stout guy myself but this is someone with very little firearms experience.

The friction rings were probably set up for heavier loads, so if it functions reliably with light loads it should be pleasant to shoot.

Just wondering if you had to use the entire magazine to take down the clays.

Also wondering how hard they are to clean up afterward

Oh no, I'm good at clays. But normly ranges only want you to load 1 or 2. This was an informal shoot so I could actually load a magazine like God intended.

Clays are biodegradable. You don't clean them up.

I meant the A5

Also curious, does the extra weight in the front affect how it handles in terms of sporting clays?

I'm not a professional enough shooter to tell you that. Just a lowly informal trap guy.

Nice find. Put me on a bit reading this afternoon.
