The Auto-5, often abbreviated as A5, holds a monumental place in firearms history as the first successful semi-automatic shotgun, designed by the legendary John Browning. Utilizing a long-recoil operation system, the A5 was capable of cycling five shots (four in the magazine and one in the chamber) reliably—revolutionizing shotgun design. Though originally rejected by Winchester and nearly stalled by the untimely death of Remington’s president, Browning's design was ultimately embraced by Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Belgium and later licensed to both Remington and Savage. The A5’s enduring popularity led to decades of production across continents, with FN, Remington, and later Miroku in Japan continuing to build the shotgun until production ended in 1998. The Magnum Twenty variant specifically catered to shooters seeking the soft recoil and versatility of the 20 gauge, while still benefiting from the robust, field-proven reliability of the long-recoil Auto-5 system. This shotgun is not only a highly functional field tool but also a piece of firearms heritage, cherished by collectors and sportsmen alike.
