Browning Auto 5 - 12/29/14 04:38 AM
I've always thought they were odd looking shotguns without much visual appeal but yesterday I snagged one up on an impulse. After getting it home, doing some research and reading about the history of the design I kinda fell in love with it. From what I can tell gun I bought is a 1948 Belgium model "Light Twelve" 12ga with fixed modified choke. It's in pretty good shape and I'm excited to go shoot it soon.
A lot of what I read was that due to the age of the design and ruggedness of the construction they surpass many generations of owners and use. It's one of those guns that can carry with it a lot of family history and hunting stories. Anyone here have one, shoot/hunt with one? Experiences?
