My new doublegun.........sort of
 

I just picked up a Browning Double Auto, "Tomorrow's Gun Today". A 1963 Belgian made"Twelvette" with an aluminum receiver in Dragon Black. A lively gun at 6 3/4 pounds with a 29.5" factory vent rib barrel with a Colonial thin wall choke someone had installed. Browning did not make a lot of the DA's and it is a bit of an oddball gun. The clerks at the gun store had trouble closing the action and no clue as how to remove the barrel. Thanks to Youtube I had it figured out. I am hoping it will be a nice shooter. If anyone has or had a Double Auto I'd like to hear your experiences.

Neat one Pete.

That's one of my favorite guns, I love the action and feel of it. hopefully you will enjoy it! Be careful not to turn the end screw, it will mess up the timing of the action.

Thanks, it's new to me, where is the end screw located?

it's the aluminum piece with the holes in it that the forend pin goes through, it turns to loosen and tighten the spring. if your barrel becomes loose that's the way to tighten it up, but use caution when doing so.

Very interesting and well made gun, about 20 years ago I had a twentyweight model , it was only 6 lbs. I thought it would be a great grouse gun but I had trouble getting used to the safety. I also shot a standard weight one with a channel rib at skeet and liked it. Have you tried the speed load feature out? Good luck with it.

It shoots great, missed the first target after fumbling the safety and ran the next 24 in skeet. Used the speed loader and the first couple of times the action did not fully close, then it worked fine. I figured it might have been gummy from sitting a long time. Nice gun, very happy with it.

There’s a guy down here that was a so called Browning collector and in his accumulation he had no less then fifty or sixty Double Auto’s . He had several that the recievers were I assume anodized in blue and red and brown and some other color/s .

i have seen a few of these guns have had one in my hands it handled nicely....just never owned one good luck with the new gun...charlie

When I shot international skeet in the Army one of the officers had one. I shot it a bit and liked it so much I searched for one but never found it before the Army got tired of me and let me go home. Nice handling gun.
