Description:
In very good condition this FN A5 shows handling wear. There are three slight cracks in the forend wood, see pictures. Bluing is in very good condition The FN Browning A5, or Auto-5, is an iconic semi-automatic shotgun known for its distinctive "humpback" receiver, designed by John Moses Browning in the late 1890s. It was the first successful mass-produced semi-automatic shotgun and remained in production for nearly a century until 1998. History and Production Design and Patent: John Browning patented the design in 1900 after American manufacturers like Winchester and Remington initially declined his offer. FN Production: Production began in 1902 with the Belgian firm Fabrique Nationale (FN) in Herstal, Belgium, which manufactured the shotgun for decades. Licensees: During various times, especially around the World Wars, the design was licensed to other companies, including Remington (producing the Remington Model 11) and Savage Arms. End of Original Production: The last original Auto-5 was produced in 1998, with a "Final Tribute" version made in 1999. Modern Reintroduction: In 2012, Browning introduced a new A5 model that, while maintaining the "humpback" aesthetic, uses a modern inertia-driven "Kinematic Drive" system and shares no parts with the original long-recoil design. Key Features of the Original Auto-5 Action: It uses a long-recoil operated semi-automatic action, where the barrel and bolt recoil together initially upon firing. Capacity: The name "Auto-5" refers to its capacity of five rounds: four in the magazine and one in the chamber. Design: The famous "humpback" receiver design provides a longer sight radius and aids in natural sight alignment. Gauges: It was available in 12, 16, and 20 gauge, with the "Light Twelve" and "Sweet Sixteen" variants being particularly popular. Durability: Known for its reliability and robust design, the Auto-5 saw military service from World War I through the Vietnam War. 12 Gauge
