2 ай бұрынGreatest Shotgun in History? | Browning Auto 5: The Browning Auto 5 stands out as one of the most revolutionary and iconic shotguns in history. Notorious for its humpback receiver, the Auto 5 or A5 as it is commonly called, has left an indelible mark on the firearms world. The story of how the Auto 5 came to be and its journey through the decades is utterly fascinating.

The first shotgun I ever purchased was the A5 Light in 1989. I have it to this day and it’s in great condition. In 1995 (or so) I purchased a light 20 gauge. The wood on these guns are to this day beautiful. Both are in close to new condition. They will go to my son once I can’t walk the hills any longer - but that is hopefully a long way off. Proud to have them both.

the 11-48 and Sportsmans 48 are great shotguns! I've been collecting them for a number of years - all variants and gauges. The two unicorns of the 48 are the 410 and 28 gauges. When you can find them, the price is way too high. By the way, if you need new springs for the 48, check out Art's Gun Shop - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/itl7iJuC2NDGco0.htmlsi=pznUNMX-ff5MM7Gm

I've got one made in 1917. I find it kind of odd that the magazine tube is angled a little to the right compared to the receiver, and the groove on the top of the receiver is also at an angle compared to the vent rib on the barrel. Is yours like that or is it just mine?

First gun I ever owned was a Remington Model 11 made in 1905. Used it to shoot 91/100 in collegiate trap before I switched to my current Beretta 390. The Beretta is a much better gun, but I’ll always have fond memories of the Model 11. Wish I never sold it!
@davewinter2688 2 ай бұрын
When Remington brought out their version in 1905 it was not called the model 11. It was called the Remington Autoloading Shotgun. It became the Model 11 in 1911 when some small changes were made. The design had a few changes during its run for Remington but they were very small. In 1948 the Remington became the model 11-48 and Sportsman 48. Same basic Browning action but with the more streamlined receiver instead of the humpback.😊

My brother has at least 15 Browning A-5’s of varying gauges, all Belgium made. As he has gotten on up in age he started using a gas operated Beretta 20ga. for bird hunting. Lighter and less recoil he says. I myself have one Remington Mod.11 20 ga. I also have a Baby Browning 25 cal. It operates perfectly but a more useless pistol I have never owned, lol. My favorite shotgun to use is my Remington Automaster, Mod. 878, 12ga., 26” improved cyl. It was handed down to me from my father. I needed to shoot it more. My brother got the L.C. Smith s/s. He was the oldest so I guess that was ok, lol. Nice video.

My first shotgun in Northern Ireland was the A5 and was older than me at the time. The only issue was one had to carefully select the ammo that suited the A5, failure to do so would result in a round half out of the injection port. I regret selling the A5 and bought a new Browning 2000.

Your market gunner said that they had nothing decent to shoot ducks with, until this gun was invented. I got one in England in the 70's and found that this was the most pointable gun I had ever handled. Accounting for thousands of ducks and hundreds of geese ; including 5 wigeon with 5 shots several times and once 5 teal for 5! Untill It started to wear out. As the investment castings were very hard (not like modern pressed parts) this took a long time and was repaired with spot welds to keep it going. Eventualy it got unreliable so I replaced it with a new A5 in 3-1/2" in camo, and never looked back. I have replaced the main stock and magazine spring (a beautiful flat wound one) to make it more reliable. And again has accounted for hundreds of birds,inc:- many tripples. I know lots don't like the 'hump back' but this makes the gun stand out from the rest.

my grandpa owns one of these classic models for home defense. Now I am NOT a gun dude, but when you have a weapon that can take out multiple targets with the only limit being range and how fast your finger can move (and the fact that my grandpa was in the navy for 20 years and does know a thing or two about guns), sounds like the only man that needs to be safe is the one breaking in. (that last part was clearly a joke, so always practice fire arm safety, unless you are the one looking down the barrel, that's when you practice your prayers)
