Browning Auto-5 12 Ga SN: 4M70387
Made in Belgium this is the classic Auto 5 designed by John Moses Browning. It is a semi-auto shotgun chambered for 2.75" 12 gauge shells circa 1964. It has a 29.5" blued barrel and receiver with a raised bead front sight, magazine cut off, metal trigger guard, smooth trigger and manual safety behind the trigger. It has two piece wood stocks with checkering at the wrist and forearm and finger grooves above the checkering on the forearm. It has a black butt plate with Browning Automatic embossed around the outer portion and FN in the middle. Metal finish is mostly gone or fading along the barrel while the receiver is starting to patina. There is a crack in the forearm about 5" long starting from the receiver going toward the muzzle. It was probably caused by screwing the magazine cap too tight. Shoulder stock looks good but the gun was used. Bore looks good. LOP is 14.5". Choke measures Full. Condition is NRA Fair (needs replacement forearm) *C&R Firearm*
