My opinion the Browning Auto Five is the best Semi-Auto ever made. Especially in 20 ga and the 16 ga which is my favorite
Definitely right up there.. They are VERY well built.
Main thing to watch out for is the barrel extension position (forward edge) relative to the receiver.. It needs to stay flush.. After 'so many' rounds it will begin to extend a bit and the owner will begin to get misfires..
It's due to the pounding the fore-arm's interior gets from the rebound of recoil.. The wood gets damaged and the barrel shroud begins to dig in.. Either the fore-arm must be repaired, replaced, or a $1 properly-sized O-ring will be the cure..
BTDT.
Congrats on the shotgun Bobby.. Have a happy (and VERY safe) New Year.
