I thought twentyweight was for (20) gauge.. I assume you are talking about Browning shotguns? The "Double Automatic" was a Browning A5 type of gun that only held two shells. Lighter weight than a standard 12 gauge,maybe as light as a 20 gauge gun. The aluminum receiver would be the main way the weight was reduced on the 12 gauge. I'm sorry I don't have my Browning books handy to give any more info.

What is a Browning Twelveette?

The twelvette is a double automatic, lightweight version with aluminum receiver unlike the standard double automatic which has a steel receiver. The twelvette came in black with gold trim with gold engraving in 1955-1971. From 1956 to 1961 some receivers were gray, brown or green anodized, and had silver engraving. All twelvettes seem to have gold triggers also. I have a 1958 double automatic with black receiver and gold trim plus a gold trigger. On the side of the receiver the word twentyweight is engraved on it and the gun weighs 6 lbs. instead of 6.5 - 7 lbs which is stated for the twelvette's weight. I haven't been able to find any information on it's history or value. If anyone has any information on it I'd appreciate hearing from you. I'd also like to know where I could see an exploded view of the assembly??? stuart13@alltel.net

What year is a Browning Twentyweight 12ga the numbers on it are A21 on top and 821 under that also in mint condition what is the value?

If there is a single digit number in front of the "A", then it was probably manufactured between 1958-67 with that digit representing the last digit of the year. If there is no number before the "A", then I suspect is was manufactured between 1955-57 and you'd have to contact Browning to see if they can tell you the year it was made from the serial number "21821".....the "A" indicates that it is the duralumin (aluminum allowy) receiver. This makes the gun lighter than if the receiver was made from steel. Hence the "Twentyweight" means that the gun is a 12-gauge shotgun that is as light as a 20-gauge. Hope this info helps.
