A new variation on the 12Ga Semi-automatic: the Classic

Post by Hosenfuhrer »

The first commercially successful semi-automatic shotgun, the FN/Browning Auto-5

Just something extra special for the people who like the classics.

I might be a bit biased since I own one of these from 1930.

It's performed really well this season, got 5 grouse and 8 rabbits with it and with no malfunctions. I had to fit a replacement forend for it because the early ones are notoriously easy to crack. Reblued the steel and refinished the wood with oil and damn it's a good shooter.

Resurrecting this thread since a thought occured to me: this could also be in 16Ga, we don't have a 16Ga repeater in the game currently so this would fill that role.

I think most people would prefer another 12 semi automatic...

I'd buy one of these. I owned an original and loved it.

It was my first shotgun that I learned to hunt whitetails. In was in Mass. and we could only use shotguns.
