...but I don't believe one can argue that it's not "FINE".
1960 Browning Auto Five "Light Twenty".







What a great shooter. It points like the finger of GOD.
If you look closely, you can even see the "hump".

God I love those, especially with the lighter wood. Yes, it is a FINE gun. And a great grouse gun to boot.

Love those Browning A-5 20 gauges. Especially the early round knob stocks before 1966. I just let my brother have a 1960 A-5 20 gauge new in the box to raffle off for his Quail unlimited banquet in southern Ohio last Saturday. I did keep a beautiful Browning Tolex case that I bought extra for the gun and probably will sell it or trade for a A+F Brady style case for one of my Parkers.

One of my favorites, bought a 63 vintage one at a mom and pop gun shop in Montana a couple years ago. Took it out opening day and went three for three on roosters

Very nice indeed, even though it is a semi-auto.

Takes me back many moons to hunting wild quail over Brittanies east of Blackwater Wildlife Refuge on Maryland's Eastern Shore. It was hard to miss one with an Auto 5 20 gauge!!

Since we are treading lightly on consecrated ground, I thought I would slip this one in this thread. I hope no one minds.

I just received one of the Fabled Browning Brothers A-5's from 1923 when the Browning Brothers Arms Co, Inc. started again to import the FN produced A5's into the states when Remington's sole US distribution agreement expired.
