What you have is an A5 16ga made in 1947. The "x" designates the new serial number sequence started in 1946 for all 16 ga guns with a 2 3/4" chamber.
Check under and on the inside of the forearm, top of the action, receiver, and barrel.
On the bottom of the receiver forward of the carrier port and trigger
Left hand side of receiver, above the trigger.
I have one. Case hardened receiver, solid rib. Interestingly, in looking a the single trigger, there is a slot next to it (underside of receiver)which contains a piece of metal which does not protrude below the receiver. It's as if it was a double trigger converted to single trigger. I have no idea. It was made before 1948. I use it to this day, got four chuckars just yesterday. It just puzzles me. The side of the receiver says Stevens and next to it "model 5000" and it has an engraving of a pointer on the receiver as well. ????
checkered stock, gold trigger, receiver engraving, and price.
I have a Stevens Visible Loading .22, adn the serial number is on the underside of the rifle, on the extended metal that goes from the trigger guard into the stock. It's quite visible. Ed
We can't answer that question for you. Contact the Browning service center. Have your model and serial number available. Browning Service DepartmentOne Browning PlaceArnold, Missouri 63010-94061-800-322-4626
Only the "light" Twenty" had a gold trigger. My 1964 Belgium Browning Light Twenty has a gold trigger.
On the trigger guard. Visit Browing's website to decipher the code. Not the trigger guard! For Belgian guns you can find it under the receiver, just forward of the open area with the carrier. For American made Auto 5's, it is on the left side of the receiver starting with an A, B or C. auto5man
You find a Browning trained armorer
The trigger pull should only be adjusted by a trained gunsmith. Browning does not publish trigger pull weights.
Is it a bolt, pump or semi-auto? What are the markings on it? Serial number? Are you saying the only engraving is around the trigger? None on the receiver? Without knowing these answers, you might be in a 200-2000 price range.
