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.
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
This gun has the Aluminum Receiver. It was made in 1966.
The Browning "Twelvette Double Auto" was made with an aluminum alloy frame that was anodized various colors during the '50s and '60s. I believe that grey was one of the more popular colors.
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.
The "AL" on a watch typically stands for "aluminum," indicating that the watch case or components are made from aluminum, a lightweight and corrosion-resistant material. This designation is often found in sports or casual watches, emphasizing durability and ease of wear. In some contexts, "AL" may also refer to "automatic" or "automatic winding," indicating that the watch is self-winding and doesn't require a battery.
A S&W 39-2 is a semi-automatic. Manufactured from 1971 to 1982, it had a improved extractor over the model 39. Has an aluminum frame and stainless slide with single stack magazine and a de-cocker safety on the left side.
Yes, many Ford transmissions are made using aluminum components, particularly in their automatic and manual transmission cases. Aluminum is favored for its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties, which contribute to improved fuel efficiency and performance. However, Ford also uses other materials, such as steel, for specific parts within their transmissions to enhance durability and strength.
Aluminum and oxygen form aluminum oxide. Aluminum and iodine form aluminum iodide.
Aluminum foil is made of Aluminum, which is an element. So yes Aluminum foil is a element
No but it is made of aluminum which is the most prevalent element in the earth.
Aluminum foil is made of aluminum metal.
No aluminum cans are not compounds. Aluminum cans are made of aluminum which is an element and is very metallic.
