The Browning A5 was the first ever mass produced semi automatic shotgun, and since the first one rolled off the production line back in 1902, the firearms world fell in love with this beautiful shotgun.
The old Auto 5 is a wonderful design for sure....I once owned an early 1920's manufactured Remington Model 11 that had been sporterized; barrel was cut down, front bead re-installed, threaded for WinChoke tubes. The job was well done & the gun still shot great....one of the few firearms I've sold for a profit to a dealer too...😅😁👍 Congrats on the wedding BTW bud......wish you guys all the best! 😃👍 Never had the best of luck in such matters myself, but I'm always glad to see others do so..haha 😅😁👍
