I absolutely love your uncles Auto-5! That thing is just getting broken in lol! The patina is perfect. I inherited the exact same gun from my dad when he passed except his was made in 1963 and it's my favorite firearm in my collection. They're PERFECT! Love the video and the passion you have for why your Auto-5 means so much to you.❤
When I was 23 a Dr cut my spine causing me to be paralyzed from the u neck down. While in Magee rehabilitation hospital my brother in law bought me a Browning A 5 3" magnum 12 ga. Belgium made. The year before he bought one for my father then all of us had Brownings , I was home from hospital one week and my dad drug me in the woods in a wheelchair. We hunted everything and fished when we could . My Brownings32" barrel knocks deer down at eighty yards with 3"#4 buck. She put lots of deer down every year. I feel like you do about my baby I'm 78 now in bad health but my memories you could'nt buy for a million dollars.
I have a 1959 vintage Light 12 that's a really sweet shooter. Bought it used in 1972. People who complain it has too much recoil haven't set friction pieces on the magazine tube properly ;for heavy loads. Also reduces wear and tear on the gun when properly set.
