Standard weight 2 3/4” shell 1958 Browning Auto 5 12 gauge shotgun. I reblued the entire shotgun with Birchwood Casey’s Superblue. I applied 8 coats of super blue to the entire outer surface. I left the original bluing on the screws, some of the internal parts, and single option loading lever. Basically if the internal part was still well blued I didn’t strip it down and reblue it. The bolt and all internal parts were removed and completely cleaned, polished, re-lubed, and reinstalled. The wood stock was stripped and refinished with 7 coats of Tru Oil. The front hand guard has a small crack at the base of the hand guard next to the receiver. The crack doesn’t extend all the way through. I’m guessing somebody over tightened the magazine nut causing the small crack. Other then that the stock set is in good order. I installed a new sling screw and a magazine swivel sling attachment. Also comes with the oem handguard screw cap. The barrels are both 12 gauge 2 3/4” smooth bore calibers. The longer installed 28 3/4” barrel has some minor pitting on the inside of the barrel. The shorter 25” barrel is like new inside. Both barrels were missing their original sight beads. I retapped both front sights for a modern thread pitch. Now you can use any shotgun sight that has a 6x48 thread pattern. Shotgun also has an upgraded Pachmeyer rear butt pad to soak up that recoil. I really tried to refurbish this cool old shotgun back to top working condition. Pick up off Wade Green Rd at the Publix or halfway for the right trade.


***Trades: I’m mainly looking for cheap ammo(under retail cost). I could also use a Gen 5 Agency Glock 19. If you have something to offer please feel free to do so. As always I’m looking for ugly gun to tinker with. As long as they are fixable I might be interested. Feel free to make me an offer. Worst I can say is no***
