ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Browning Auto-5 was patented in 1900 and produced for nearly a century. The 30.75-inch vented rib barrel variation was favored by serious sportsmen seeking a balance of length and handling for waterfowl and upland game. The vented rib not only reduces glare but aids in quick target acquisition—features that made it a staple in American and European field use for decades. This model exemplifies the lasting influence of Browning’s mechanical ingenuity.
