No other shotgun feels quite like an original Browning Auto 5 when it goes off.⁠ ⁠ The entire barrel moves backward with the bolt, then forward as it picks up the next shell and returns to battery. That unique bouncing recoil sensation, the Auto 5’s many fans will tell you, is just one more way you know that you’re shooting the greatest semiauto shotgun ever made. You’ll still see Auto 5s today in duck blinds, 120 years after the gun’s invention, shooting beat for beat with modern guns. Granted, the new semiauto shotguns may have passed it by technologically, but the fact remains: John Browning invented the semiauto, and everyone else tried to play catch-up for the next 60 years and couldn’t. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #shotgun #shotguns #browningauto5 #browning #auto5 #hunting #huntingseason #duckhunting #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: krebfish⁠ Story by: bourjaily
