Browning Auto-5, 16 Gauge 2 3/4" Semi-Auto Shotgun Made in 1957

Description:
Nice Browning Auto-5 Semi-Auto 16 Gauge Shotgun, made in Belguim in 1957. It is a Full Choke with a 2 3/4" Chamber and a plain barrel with a front bead on a tiny pedestal. This is not a Sweet Sixteen. It is in very good condition, considering its age, 67 years old. If this shotgun were a person, it would be on Medicare and collecting Social Security. The Bore is bright and shiny and has been well cared for. Since the frame serial number does not match the barrel number, I am assuming that this is not the original barrel. There are several areas of wear on the stock finish that are shown in the pictures. The metal shows normal wear in the grip area and on the barrel where it recoils into the action upon firing. It has the original butt plate and there are some signs of chipping or flaking near the toe of the butt pate that are shown in the pictures. Overall, the shotgun has been used but has been very well cared for. All interior surfaces are free of any rust or corrosion and are appropriately lubricated. The shotgun works properly, I took it out for a round of trap not long ago and it functioned perfectly. These Belguim made Auto-5 Shotguns are just a pleasure to use. This is a good one that has just enough wear that you can use it, but nice enough to be proud to carry it.
