theobob47 5 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Ok people,I have a a5 ,12 bore that I have inherited from my late dad,the problem I've got is that he changed the safety from right hand to left hand,I've used the gun a few times and would like to put saftey back to right hand ,but trying to get one is proving to be a pain,is there anybody on here that may have one that they would like to change to left handed saftey,we could do a swap ,or does anyone know of someone who might have parts or breaking one of these guns,I've tried quite a few sites ,but they either haven't got the part or won't ship to the uk ,any help,info would be much appreciated,rob Quote Link to post
Gav 1,708 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 I'm not no expert, did he not keep the original? Try a few RFD's I'm sure it canny be an expensive fix? I understand its sentimental so swapping it out is probably not an option. Good luck in your quest Quote Link to post
philpot 4,970 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 There is a shop in Halesworth, Suffolk called Richardson's which is a real traditional gunsmith where extensive repairs are done as well as building new guns, a phone call to see if they have the parts would be worthwhile. Good luck with it. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Had a quick web search, found nothing. The frustrating thing is that somewhere propped up in a corner there will be an A5 slowly rotting! 1 Quote Link to post

All I've got on the web is American sites that won't post to the uk,and without a doubt there's one ,somewhere stood in a corner,soon as I get the bit,they will pop up everywhere 1 Quote Link to post
