Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning Auto-5, often known as the A-5 or Auto-5, is a pioneering recoil-operated semi-automatic shotgun designed by John Browning. Launched in 1905, it was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun and remained in production until 1998. In 1946, the Light Weight 12 gauge variant was introduced as a lighter alternative to the Standard Weight model. This version achieved weight reduction through several modifications: three holes drilled into the barrel ring, a narrower rib on vent rib barrels, additional milling on the receiver, and a more streamlined buttstock with reduced wood. While early Light Weight 12s and Sweet Sixteens featured gold-plated triggers and safeties up until 1951, there are no distinctive external features to differentiate them from the Standard Weight models.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
