Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
With its humpback receiver design, the Browning Auto-5 (or A5) shotgun is instantly recognizable. In production for more than 90 years, the sales numbers speak for themselves: more than 2.7 million made and sold. Production ceased in 1998, but Browning revived the gun less than a decade ago.
When Browning invented the automatic shotgun (as semi-auto shotguns were called then), he created something completely new and never before seen. His Auto-5 design worked with a long-recoil method of operation. The barrel and bolt remain locked together during recoil and compress the recoil springs. The bolt then locks to the rear, but the barrel is forced forward by the spring. The bolt is held at the rear until the barrel returns to its original position. During this operation, the spent cartridge is extracted and ejected, and a new one is readied for loading from the magazine. Finally, the bolt is released and forced closed by the recoil spring. This chambers a fresh round and the gun is ready to shoot again. Don't the let opportunity to hold and enjoy these firearms slip by you!
