Hi from New Jersey

hello, I've been shooting for almost 45 years. I found this site while looking for info on my Auto 5 which I believe was made in 1938.

Looking forward to the pictures, Edge!

I'll try to get some posted this evening or tomorrow

Welcome to the Browning Owners Forum !!

Enjoy our community...

I'm having a heck of a time trying to post photos from photobucket, any help would be appreciated.

Photobucket is a lost cause...try IMGUR

Lol, imgur seems worse!

Still trying to post and having trouble, here's a few.

I paid $300 for this about 2 years ago. I'll try to figure out how to get more pics posted.

They all want you to pay for the "privilege" of No Ads...like THAT's gonna help !!

How about: https://www.flickr.com/

Nice Auto-5, Edge. You stole it for $300.

The NRA website says 1940, the one Shooter posted says 1939. Either way you got one of the last ones produced before FN was overrun by the Wehrmacht.

Thanks Rudolph, I saw the NRA site, Brownings site says no production in 1940, approximate 228,000 end in 1939. At any rate the gun is in exceptional shape for its age. Proof house says only 1000 made in 39.

Don't look at the Browning site. It's full of errors, at least as far as the Auto-5 is concerned.

Welcome to the forum Edge, love that A5!

Thanks xd!
