Description:
The Browning 12-ga. Double Automatic shotgun, introduced early in 1955, was designed by Val M. Browning, son of firearms inventor John M. Browning. Manufactured by Fabrique Nationale in Belgium, this gun is designated Double Automatic because it will hold only 2 shells and is self-loading (semi-automatic). Unlocking of the breech is accomplished by an inertia block housed in a tube in the stock. Rearward movement of the barrel in recoil is only about **". All types of 2-3/4" factory loads, including **" Magnum, can be fired without adjustment. Initially the Double Automatic was offered in Standard model weighing 7lbs. 11 oz. and a lighter Twelvette model weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. The weight saving in the Twelvette model was obtained through use of an aluminum-alloy receiver. A new version with aluminum alloy receiver, designated Twentyweight, was first offered in 1956. Its name is derived from the fact that its nominal weight of only 6 lbs. with 26-1/2" plain barrel is comparable to that of the ordinary 20-ga. shotgun. Anodized aluminum receivers of the Twelvette and Twentyweight models can be had in several color combinations, and all models have decorative hand-engraved panels on sides of the receivers. This Belgian Made Browning Double Auto Twelvette represents a total of SIX that we have on hand. This is the only one with a mid-bead on the vented rail. There is one with the rare BROWN colored receiver. They say that it was a sample for Sears & Roebuck and Montgomery Ward. The Twelvette shown in the photos here is the most expensive, at $1274.99. There are another three at $999.99 and one at $724.99. I have another two that are less. One is a Twentyweight and has the remnants of a cheek pad that was epoxied to the stock. I would consider the stock a wood-working project to get rid of the epoxy. The lower price would make that worth it.
