Browning Auto 5 12ga

[angrycherokee]

I am absolutely in love with my browning auto 5, my A5 is a 12ga but also comes in a 16ga "sweet 16", and a 20ga.
the A5 was first produced in 1898 and ended in 1998. ALMOST 100 YEARS!!! you know you did something right when....

i could go on and on about the A5 but I will attach a wiki link for those of you intrested if you dont know anything about it. if you are looking for a GREAT trap/game gun...this is it. right now mine is pushing a worth of $800 although its 50+ years old. you can find em from $400-$1,000

attached should be a pic of a me with my 12ga a5 as it is ejecting a spent shell

The Auto 5 is a classic by John Browning, so how could you go wrong.

The A5 fits me well and handles well. I bought mine 20 years ago and shot a lot of ducks, pheasants and doves. It still looks near new with that beautiful Browning bluing and wood finish.

It does cycle a bit slower than newer autos, but who cares.

Funny how most everything by JMB just works, works and works and works.

They are one of those iconic shotguns. Sweet Sixteen is on my list of ones to purchase.

I went the less popular route with mine and got one of the newer Japanese-produced guns because I wanted interchangable chokes. I think I paid $500 in LNIB condition (they are commanding a bit more now) and I couldn't be happier. There is nothing that you can't do with that gun.

The first time I ever shot it, I took 22 shots and came home with my 15 doves!
