Your best bet is to take it to a gunsmith and have it inspected. The serial really doesn't tell anything about the model.
You could take it to a trap range and talk to shotgunners who own Auto 5's or you could take it to a gun show and talk to shot gun guys there. ANSWER: this is a standard weight A5 made in 1964. The standard trap model looked the same as a standard gun, but had different stock dimensions and always a 30" full vented barrel. These specs will tell you if you have a trap model: In 1964 a standard weight trap gun will have: 8lbs 5 oz. 30" full choked vent rib barrel Length of pull 14 3/8" Drop at comb 1 3/8" Drop at Heel 1 3/4" These stock configurations are not the same as the hunting or magnum models. Basically the comb is higher - bringing the shooters head up on the comb. Hope this answers your question. auto5man
