Description:
What we have here is a Miroku-made Auto 5 Lightweight in 20-gauge. 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 Lightweight model was designed to allow shooters to be able to take their Auto 5 on longer, foot-bound journeys than what was considered advisable with a standard Auto 5. It also allowed the user to traverse the gun faster when tracking airborne targets. According to the serial number, this Auto-5 left the factory in 1984. It is in excellent condition. The engraving is very nice. The bluing is near 98% condition. The wood furniture has some slight mars in a couple of spots but retains its high-gloss finish very well. A couple of spots exhibit grain expansion under the finish but these are only minor. It appears that the Light 20 has seen very little use unlike most Auto-5s. It even has the original Browning butt plate as opposed to an aftermarket rubber pad as found on most used examples. The barrel has a full choke. Do not pass up the opportunity to own one of the finest semi-auto shotguns ever made.
