Val Browning's Double Auto

[Pay Dirt]

With all this talk of Remington and Winchester,
I snagged another Double Auto. 1960 Twelvette, 28" Modified.
Remains in very high condition.

Since you guys brought up the subject of Double Autos, I went to the Browning Collectors Association meeting in August of 2017 at the corporate headquarters in Morgan, Utah. There was a fellow there that had the most complete set of Double Autos, I think, in existence. He owns over 60 of them and brought about 30 of the more celebrated versions, including the only two 20 gauges prototypes that were made. I'll include some pictures of those as well.

The two guns on the front of this 3 gun rack are the 20 gauge prototypes. As you can see they were made 3" capable. Additionally, Val Browning was experimenting with a new choke system; something like a Cutts which you can see on the end of the barrels. These two guns resided in Val Browning's office until his death, at which time they were offered to an interested party and sold.

That 2019 trip ended in So Cal with a visit to Angelo Bee in my hometown of Chatsworth.
Art was doing a custom 28 ga Superposed for me and Angelo was engraving it.
After an afternoon at the Pacific Ocean I had the pleasure of breaking bread with Art and Brad.

I took them to the #1 Delicatessen in the country, Brents.
