Browning Firearms

Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Auto 5's with poly-chokes, compensators and recoil pads (other than Mag 12's) will reduce value. A rough ball park figure would be $250-$600 range for this gun. Near mint guns and original box will command an extra premium. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.

Try the gun broker web site. Do a search also on google. There are many outlets and sources for older parts on the web http://www.gunbroker.com/

Browngin has good sn data on their website under customer service.

Best way to confirm is check out other model 2000's being sold on the internet to get a feel for value. You can also check the blue book of gun values. Try: http://www.gunbroker.com/

It depends. Has the magazine plug been removed? Remove the forearm and the barrel. The magazine may have a wood or plastic plug in it. If the plug has not been cut, then only two standard size shells should fit, along with one in the chamber; This would limit the gun to only three shots as allowed for waterfowl hunting. With the plug removed, the gun should handle four shells in the magazine and one in the chamber. Magnum model receivers have extra room if using only 2/3/4 shells. If the magazine tube has no plug and you can load only three shells, check the spring and possibly replace if needed. There is one other possibility and that is if you have a three shot model made prior to the 1950's. Only the original forearm will indicate this, in which you should only be able to load two in the magazine and possibly have a bad spring as well.

Yes, they were the mfg plant that first made Brownings in Japan in 1976.

Impossible to answer without a DETAILED description of ALL markings, type of action, barrel length, etc..

Condition is everything as well as age, and where made. Start around 400 and go up to $1200 depending

There is no "Standard" choke. A5's could be purchased with one of many different chokes, however, the more common chokes on a 28" barrel were Full and Modified

1965

This is an Auto-5 Shotgun

Acier special means Special steel in French, and barrels marked this way are only on FN sales guns, not Browning Arms Co. guns. Fabrique Nationale (FN) was the manufacturer of Auto 5's, for the Browning Arms Co. FN also produced the guns for sale outside the US and were not imported to be sold by the Browning Co. Providing there is no other letters as part of the serial number, this gun was made in 1928. It should be an FN Auto-5, not a Browning Arms Company A5. The gun will likely have the Fabrique Nationale de Herstal address along the ridge of the receiver, but no receiver engraving. The "c12" simply means 12ga. Cartridge. The FN version is mechanically the same as the Browning version, but markings and finish may be different. Although the Blue Book of gun values doesn't differentiate these guns from the ornate Brownings, prices are lower because of the engraving. If your gun has an engraved receiver, then it's possible that the barrel was fitted, and not original to the gun. Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Auto 5's with recoil pads (other than Mag 12's) poly-chokes and compensators will reduce value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal, but keep in mind that few appraisers know the information and history of the FN guns.

Sounds like a Safari Grade FN rifle which had the"L" designation

All day long. Any shotgun can handle shorter shells than it is chambered for as long as they are the same gauge.

100-1000 USD or so
