Default Browning Auto 5...

Anyone have one? I just aquired one, not a big auto fan but plan on throwing a few rounds thru it tomorrow.

Great guns! My father in law has an old belgum made auto 5 that has never been loaded let alone shot. Still in the box it came in.

They are great guns. My grandpa has a 12ga. a 20ga. in 3"mag, and a 2 3/4" 20ga. They all have killed countless dove, ducks, geese, bobwhite, and turkey.

They're great guns. That John M. Browning really knew how to build a gun.

newer? They have been out of production since '98.

Never seen or shot one I didn't like. They all shot great.
