auto 5

The Browning Automatic 5, most often Auto-5 or simply A-5, is a recoil-operated semi-automatic shotgun designed by John Browning. It was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun design, and remained in production until 1998. The name of the shotgun designates that it is an autoloader with a capacity of five rounds, four in the magazine and one in the chamber. Remington Arms and Savage Arms sold variants called the Remington Model 11 and Savage Model 720 that were nearly identical but lacked the magazine cutoff found on the Browning.

    I'm looking to buy a 20 and/or 16 ga Browning A5. I'm not looking for a mint collectors gun. I'd like to find one (or 2 or 3 🤣) that I'm not afraid to take into the woods. Belgium or Japanese is fine and I prefer guns with the vent rib, also must be willing to ship to my FFL. Thanks!
