I have a 1961 Belgian Browning Auto 5 2 3/4” 12 gauge. It’s in good shape cosmetically and excellent functionally. Some bluing wear on the receiver. I have a full and modified choke barrel both with a ventilated rib and double beaded. Still have the original receipt from 1961. I don’t hunt small game anymore and I have a Super Black Eagle II for waterfowl. Nice gun but I don’t use it. I have a friend who collects these guns and ogles it all the time. Looking for someone who I can send pics to that can help me out with a fair price. I’m horrible at attaching pictures to this site and don’t do photo bucket. Thanks.

Why not look at online listings at various gun auction websites and survey what the going price is? Especially look for listings in your general area. Might be easier and more accurate.

I did gunbroker and they ranged from $110.00 to $1,100.00. Did get a. PM putting it from $600-$800 for just the gun. So,figure another $150.00 or so for an extra barrel.

If the blue is mostly in good shape, the two vent rib barrels may fetch $700-$900. A little wear against the forearm is natural. The action has to be worth something.

I botched my ‘63 Light 12 with screw adjust chokes. I bought a Japan barrel VR with screw in chokes. Steel compatible. I suppose my heirs can do as they wish with it. I skipped a lot of lunches to pay for it. My only regret is that I did not go with a Sweet Sixteen.

a Belgian A5 for $110 must be in pretty rough shape, eh?.
