Default Guns!

This is for you, Warchild. I'd like to see other member's guns, so post pics! My pride and joy, 16 guage Browning Auto-5. It was made in Belgium, by Fabrique Nationale. Production began in 1903 on these guns, and in 1904 the U.S. enacted restrictive tariff on foriegn goods, so I'm guessing this one is pre-1904. It's all original except the recoil pad (installed by previous owner, it really needs it, because it does have a kick to it, and the stock is narrow). I've owned it since I was 14, and it shoots, well, I've actually shot at squirrels at ridiculously long range for a shotgun, and it has knocked them out every time. Best shooting shotgun I've ever seen, I reguarly put 12gauge Mossbergs, Remingtons, Winchesters, and others to shame with it. Here's some pics :
