The Browning Auto-5 (A5) Light Twelve is a legendary semi-automatic shotgun that combines classic craftsmanship with time-tested engineering. This model is chambered in 12 gauge and features a 28-inch vent ribbed barrel, ideal for everything from upland game to sporting clays. The long-recoil action, originally designed by John M.

What makes this particular A5 Light Twelve stand out even more is the inclusion of an extra barrel—a 26-inch vent ribbed 12 gauge barrel—offering enhanced versatility to the shooter. Whether you're in the duck blind needing extended range with the 28-inch barrel, or maneuvering in tighter cover with the more compact 26-inch barrel, this shotgun adapts effortlessly to your environment. The option to switch between barrels depending on your shooting style or hunting needs makes this Browning not just a piece of firearms history, but a highly practical tool in the field. Lightweight for a semi-automatic thanks to its “Light” designation, and built with the durability Browning is known for, this A5 remains a prized option for both collectors and active shooters who value classic design and modern performance.
