Pre war 16 gauge Browning Auto 5's had smaller ejection ports. The purpose is up to dispute, but most argue it was to limit rain and debris from entering. The correct way to measure the shell size is to measure from the face of the bolt. If the bolt is below the opening by 1/4 inch or more, you can use 2 3/4 shells. Another clue will be the barrel. If it is marked with "2 3/4 shell" you can use a that size shell. Some 16's were assembled using mixed barrels and barrel extensions. I have a very old model that has a sliding ejector with a short barrel extension.
The number one cause of shells failing to be ejected clear of the port is a combination of the extractor on the bolt needs sharpening or the type of shell. Shells with crisp, flat rims will eject properly. Try a Win. AA or Remington STS shell. I have all kinds of problems with Multi Metal, Fiochhi and other lesser cost shells not clearing the opening.
If it's a 16 gauge shotgun, the shell length is 2 3/4 inches.
Auto Ejection (of the shell case) Actually AE stands for Angle Eject,due to the top and side of the ejection port. Not like the old top eject port.
Model B 80 may not eject low base shells due to insufficient energy generated during the firing cycle. Low base shells typically have less powder, which can lead to inadequate force for reliable ejection. Additionally, the extractor and ejector mechanisms might not be optimized for handling lighter loads, causing failures to eject. Ensuring the firearm is clean and well-maintained can also impact its performance with different shell types.
Yes, if you eject it into a roaring fire.
it is not safe to fire 16 gauge shell in anything but a 16 gauge.No shells will interchange with other gauge guns since a 16 gauge shell would fit in a 12 gauge chamber, I would think you can do this.
Air soft shotgun shells are the size of 12 gauge shotgun shells.
Actually the shotgun uses 16 gauge shells i have the same shotgun
NO!!! A 12 gauge shotgun takes only 12 gauge shells. A 20 gauge shell would fall into the barrel and get stuck about half way to the muzzle. You would be in for a nasty surprise when you put a 12 gauge shell behind it and pulled the trigger!!!
Depends on the gauge of the shell. The smaller the number, the bigger the shell. A 12 g shell is ABOUT 3/4 of an inch in diameter.
Shell-ejecting airsoft guns tend to eject their shells using a spring loaded system. once the bolt, or slide is drawn back after firing, the spring will force the spent shell out of the gun
You can't. The 14 gauge has been obsolete for over 100 years, and the shells are found only in the collections of advanced shell collectors. I have been collecting for 30+ years, and have 2 of them.
From Browning's website - "allowing the shooter to retain shells in the magazine and eject a shell from the chamber without feeding from the magazine."
