Best Answer

This gun is a Browning 12ga. Auto-5 or "A5" semi automatic shotgun made in 1968. It is the Magnum model which means it will shoot 3" 12 guage shells. It has a factory installed recoil pad. Barrel lengths and vented or plain barrels varied and can't be identified by the serial number. The gun was invented and designed by John Browning and patented in 1902. Under Contract with Fabrique National (FN) most of these guns including yours was made in Liege Belgium at the FN gun Factory. Your gun was imported and sold by Browning in 1968. The complete serial number should be referred to as 68V16970.
