Looking for an early Browning Auto made in 1903. Would prefer one with a serial # below 500. Will consider newer ones up to 10,000. Also interested in any parts for an early Browning Auto 5 in the same time frame. 1903/1904 Auto. Thanks

Good luck, I’d love to find a 1903 too! I have a 1905, which is the earliest I’ve ever seen in person and I doubt I’d ever sell it.

That would have the suicide trigger, no?

Had one last year. It was a 1920’s model, 24 i think. Sold it to a guy that nearly wet his pants when he handled it.
You could call Art Isaacson, Art’s Gun Shop in Missouri. He deals in everything concerning Auto 5’s.

My son in law just inherited one from his father. It was his grandfathers. He was telling me about the suicide safety/trigger. I told him that was BS. I've never heard of one. Well, I guess you just proved me wrong. Its an early Browning auto 5 12ga. Not sure what year, I'll have to go check now.

I have often wondered about part interchangeability A5 vs Rem Model 11. Anybody?

I have a very nice older Auto 5 with suicide safety. Will check the serial number when I get home.
