Description:
What we have here is the classic Auto-5 Sweet 16. The Auto 5 was the first commercially successful semi-automatic shotgun, designed by the famous John M. Browning in 1898. Originally, he took the design to Winchester, whom he had previously sold his designs to. When they refused his terms, he took the design to Remington, but the then president of Remington passed away, forcing Browning to take the gun to FN in Belgium. Eventually, the Auto 5 was built under license by Remington as the Model 11. Browning considered the Auto 5 his best design, and it was produced continuously for nearly one hundred years. The Sweet 16 is in excellent condition. The engraving is quite exquisite. There is some minor pitting on the bottom tang (of the frame) and the bottom of the carrier assembly. There are miniscule wear marks on the left side of the stock. Otherwise, the Auto-5 is in excellent condition. The bluing is in excellent condition and the wood shows no signs of cracking. The magazine has a plug in the magazine tube for bird hunting, reducing total capacity to 3. Removed, a total of 5 rounds can be loaded. The barrel can use Invector interchangeable chokes, meaning you won’t have to go looking for other barrels in other chokes as with fixed choke A5s. This shotgun can be used for all kinds of sport-shooting or it can be kept in storage for collectability purposes. That choice is entirely up to its future owner. Sweet Sixteens are becoming more expensive all the time. Do not pass up the opportunity to own one of the finest semi-auto shotguns ever made.
