*SOLD* 1991 Browning A5 Light Twelve 12ga Blue 26" *CLASSIC AUTOLOADING SHOTGUN*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Browning Auto-5 (A5) Light Twelve is a classic semi-automatic shotgun, revered for its innovation, reliability, and timeless craftsmanship. Chambered in 12 gauge for 2¾" shells, this model is built around John M. Browning’s revolutionary long-recoil operating system, the first of its kind in the world. This particular A5 Light Twelve features a 26-inch barrel fitted with an Improved Cylinder choke tube, making it exceptionally well-suited for close to mid-range shooting scenarios such as upland bird hunting, skeet, or small game. The silver bead front sight ensures quick and instinctive target acquisition, while the smooth cycling action delivers consistent, dependable performance with each shot. Renowned for its durability, the Auto-5 became a staple for generations of sportsmen who trusted it in the field season after season.
 
Visually, the A5 Light Twelve exudes elegance and function in equal measure. The checkered walnut stock and forearm not only enhance grip but also elevate the gun’s classic aesthetic. Finished in a deep, polished blue, the shotgun offers both visual appeal and practical resistance to the elements. As a "Light" model, it incorporates weight-reducing design features such as a thinner barrel ring and milled receiver components, making it easier to carry and faster to shoulder over long hunts. The balance between refined design and rugged performance has made the Browning A5 Light Twelve a legend in the shotgun world—cherished by collectors for its legacy and by hunters for its reliability and handling.
