Yah, my serial number didnt match up to anything on their site.

A lot of Brownings other pages are incorrect regarding the beginning and ending dates guns were produced.

What is the difference between the standard auto 5 and the lightweight auto 5 Is it the barrel length or the gauge I would like to find out what length the barrel is.

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 sold a variant called the Remington Model 11 that was nearly identical but lacked the magazine cutoff found on the Browning.

History History edit Depiction of Auto-5 in 1909 catalog.

The Browning Auto-5 was the first mass-produced semi-automatic shotgun.

Designed by John Browning in 1898 and patented in 1900, 4 it was produced continually for almost 100 years by several makers with production ending in 1998.

It features a distinctive high rear end, earning it the nickname Humpback.

The top of the action goes straight back on a level with the barrel before cutting down sharply towards the buttstock.

This distinctive feature makes it easy to identify A-5s from a distance.

A-5s were produced in a variety of gauges, with 12 and 20 predominating; 16 gauge (not produced between 1976 and 1987) models were also available.

The gun saw military service worldwide between World War I and the Vietnam War.

A Remington Model 11 was used in the suicide of Kurt Cobain.
