I have a light 12 and a 20 gauge auto 5 that my great grandpop bought New together in 1966. They’ve been passed down to my grandpop my dad and now me. I grew up hunting with them and me and my father still shoot them every once in a while. If I ever have a kid they will learn on them as well, no better shotgun out there. Good story behind your 20 gauge these shotguns will always be my favorite.
I almost gagged when he said 300.00. That gun would go for close to 2,000.00 here in the south. 20 gauges are scarce anywhere around my neck of the woods.
We have plenty of them available here in France , Old farmers getting rid of them .. Not many people seems to want these guns as they probably think the design 's outdated . I'm thinking about getting my hands on one . A true old classic built like a truck that never fails ..
If they're in good working condition and atleast an 80% gun or better, you may have come across a rare thing, especially saying that here in the US. 16 and 20 gauge are hard to find here because people don't sell them, and their values are higher as result. Sweet 16's here go for a minimum of 850.00 up to 2.500.00 and 20's can run up to 4,000.00 if mint. Light 12 gauges are in more of abundance and go from 450.00 up to 1,500.00 based on several factors.
Not sure if it's been said but I'm almost positive the A5's did not have issues with salt wood. It was mainly the Superposed and other high end rifles.
I got one today for free found it and 7 other valuable guns in an attic of a customer he said they were in his way they were his father in laws and his wife died so I was in the right place at the right time it is like brand new
Sono un appassionato dell'auto 5 ....italiano ... Ne ho in tutti e tre i calibri...solo di cal. 20 ...3 ! Complimenti per il tuo....ma questo e Made in japan ?? Un saluto amico
Shoot that dam thing ! Cuz if you don’t when your gone someone else will !!! Even collector guns are meant to be shot . Thanks for that video enjoy that A5 i have a blast ( pardon the pun) with mine !!!!
Totally agree! My dad had a couple collector pieces he never shot. Stored in a gun safe until he died, he never enjoyed them. I however am shooting them as they were intended. What good are they if they continue to sit, doing nothing until I die?
Salt wood comes from the trees growing in slightly salt water not from curing the lumber.... nice guess but you only salt cure meat not wood unless you like eating branches...
Sorry you are incorrect about this. The salt wood issue for Browning was the process they were using to help dry out stocks for guns. They tried to use a mixture of salt to reduce the overall moisture levels in the wood so they could put them on guns quicker. Thanks.

DO NOT ever never ever sell them. Tell your future children the same.
Wow, that A5 is fantastic
Great deal on a perfect Auto 5.

Very nice video, reminds me of my dad's old browning he has. Nice story as well, please keep up the good work!
Dall'Italia ....questo tra la mia serie e' il preferito....

Cest le meilleur 12 jai jamais tirer, ils sont cheap et bati comme des tanks cest le meilleur choix qualité prix pour un semi auto
It is very nice and very quality gun.
Cool video. I like gun stories like this
great find.
You're not kidding!!

You need to sell that to me all those dings are going to haunt you at night, when you try to go to sleep!.
You are a thief giving only 300 for that gun. WTH
I just about upchucked myself.
About 6 years ago I got one from an old guy for $300 as well - but he set the price.
I paid $120 for a 1956 20 ga light 10 years ago, best $120 I ever spent on a gun
I got one today for free found it and 7 other valuable guns in an attic of a customer he said they were in his way they were his father in laws and his wife died so I was in the right place at the right time it is like brand new
I enjoyed your video. May I ask what you paid for it? I bought a 1970 a5 light 20 this weekend. Great condition but not quite as nice as yours.
Im about to purchase one soon
If you find yours for 300.00, please let me know. I'll hop on the first plane and head your way.
Lucky you! The 20 gauge auto 5 in such condition as yours will go in Europe for 1000 $
$1800-$2k in ca.
Was the twenty built on the same frame size as the 12? Did they have a smaller 20?
I purchased a brand new Browning auto A5 lite 20 on a close out at Walmart for $400.
That stock isn’t original the knob on the butt stick should be round and the checkering should almost touch on the under side of the round knob
You should be arrested.⚖️😎👍
