Nothing. My MX 5C had drop out triggers, square monoblock barrels. The significant difference was that the action was a slimmer and lighter than my MX8.Had the 'seashell' type of curved breech like the MX8, not the flat one like the MX3.
The MX3 Special was a version of the MX8. square monobloc
I bought my 5C in England and was told by the gunshop that this model mostly stayed in Europe.

Interesting. I just looked at mine and it does not have a dropout trigger. The bottom of the action is sort of rounded. The barrels are completely separated, kind of like a Krieghoff and not at all like the separated barrels on my MX-8/20. It has Perazzi MX5C in gold on the left side. Definitely sleeker than other 12 gauge Perazzis. I have not seen another like it. As I said before, there Is certainly enough variation among Perazzis that would warrant a book. Of course, the competition history and success and the early collaboration with Mr. Fabbri would also be very interesting.

Interesting indeed. Unfortunately I sold that MX5C 20 years ago and can't provide a pic, . My barrels were not separated either. A pierced side rib, like my MX8. The gunshop in England said it was an attempt by Perazzi to introduce a light competition gun.
The only seperated barrel Perazzi I owned was an MT6, sold to a very talented young shooter who wanted to get into International Trap and did not have much money, so I sold it to him for what he could pay me, not much money, but an excellent cause, right?

Without being overly grumpy, isn't this why these websites atrophy and die? Here is a decent and interesting discussion about something that is not well researched or documented and it gets pushed off the front page by a bunch of junk like like (1)Q: what is the best (sic) investment, a Purdey or an H&H? A: neither, guns are not good investments; (2) Q: is a Fox better than a Parker ? A: no, neither is very good, but they are the best that the USA produced, so we will pretend that they are best guns. (3) If you had a jillion dollars, what gun would you buy?

The MX5 was intended and marketed as a field gun, not a light competition gun.

I can't believe I was just able to buy the last copy of the Perazzi book off of ebay. Stan bought the next to the last copy at 7:54AM, and I went to ebay just now expecting the last one to be long gone of course, but there was still one left. Thanks for the heads up Gunter !!!!!
