This Browning Auto-5, manufactured by FN in Belgium in 1970, is a 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun utilizing the long-recoil operating system. This example is the ultra-rare Super Lightweight (SLW) model – a factory FN alloy receiver version of the Auto 5. These guns are exceptionally light, and exceptionally rare, having never been imported into the United States by Browning. Additionally, this example sports a factory alloy trigger guard to reduce weight even further. This example also features the Val Browning two-part carrier system, which enables the “speed loading” these guns became famous for. As an early example of a Super Light Weight, the receiver sports the rare European-market anti-glare finish, a finish that won’t reflect sunlight or show grease and oil smudges from handling.

This shotgun’s barrel sports a vent rib and full choke – making it equally well suited for trap shooting, sporting clays, as well as upland hunting.

The gun is in very good shape, except for some typical handling marks on the stock. This gun would make an excellent shooter (the Browning friction system on a gun this light is still very smooth) or a fantastic collector’s piece!
