ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The Browning Automatic 5—designed by John M. Browning—was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun and remained in production for nearly a century. By 1959, the A5 was offered in several grades and gauges, and this manual reflects the engineering and instructions of that era. Manuals like this were packaged in brown paper envelopes and hung from the trigger guard when new. Today, these original documents help collectors preserve historical accuracy and serve as valuable references for anyone owning or servicing a vintage A5.
