The newer Brownings are being built in Japan. I bought mine new in 1972 from Sears and it was made in Belgium. So sometime between then and now the change was made. The new Weatherbys are also made in Japan now also. ANSWER: Japan production started in 1976. Why the change? Money is usually the answer. Production costs in Belgium were rising. auto5man

Just the manufacturer.The browning auto-5 shotgun was made by FN of belguim for browning between 1903-1975.After 1975 the browning auto-5 shotgun was made by Miroku of japan for browning,both companys made the same shotgun with the same patent of john m browning.While most in this country feel that the quality of the belguim made guns are far bettter(and there is some truth to this) The japan made firearms are of excellent quality,fit and finish.I know because I have owned both.
