Need a new Auto 5

Most of the time I shoot Fiocchi Golden Pheasants or roll my own

It’ll ship tomorrow I hope. Should have it Friday I would think

That's a really nice shotgun! Congrats!
I've been trying to stave off the temptation of picking up an Auto 5 lately. I know what the answer would be if I asked this group if I should do it. That's not a bad thing though. I get this feeling the minute the weather starts to cool off. I think I need help.

Thanks. I knew what the answer was going to be when I asked.

Bonus, it has the factory box too

Nice purchase Win7. That is a beautiful piece of timber and great condition item as addition to your fleet of Auto 5’s. It has found a good home.

Hmmm... you ask a bunch of Browning fans if they think it is a good idea to buy a gun?
I'm reminded of the Daffy Duck Cartoons. You know the ones.
There's an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. Both whispering in his ear.
It's just there are no angels here.
Enjoy.

Can’t wait to see detailed pictures. Congratulations Justin.

Thanks Marc. Do you know much about these? I’m struggling finding info on them

I am puzzled about the Super light models. S&V call the 1958 production, steel receiver/light alloy triggerguard and the 1969 alloy receiver/alloy triggerguard the super lightweight series. In the catalogue I have, they clearly identify a light and a super lightweight series. I believe your’s, which by the way make me jealous, is the lightweight model. Do you know if the receiver is steel or alloy?

I believe it is alloy. There is a picture of one in the S&V book. It would have to be post 1969 since it’s a 20 gauge.

I picked it up last night and I love it. The anodizing has some wear which I saw in the pictures before I bought it. The wood is in excellent shape. Barrel is numbered to receiver and is 27.5”. It weighs 5lb 11 ounces. I will post better pictures when I have time. Headed out to shoot some doves in a few
