TITLE:
Browning Auto-5 Light Twelve 12ga – Belgian Made, 27" Vent Rib, Semi-Auto Circa  1955

DESCRIPTION:
Up for sale is a Browning Auto-5 Light Twelve 12-gauge semi-auto shotgun, made in Belgium, with a 27" vented/vent-rib barrel. This is the classic long-recoil Browning design with the “humpback” receiver that lines up your eye naturally down the rib. The Light Twelve variant uses a lighter barrel/receiver profile compared to the standard Auto-5, making it easier to carry and swing in the field.

Shotgun is in very clean used condition with normal handling marks for its age, no abuse. Bore is bright, rib is straight, and the action cycles properly. Great choice for clays, upland, or as a collectible Belgian Browning for someone who actually wants to shoot it.
