Browning Auto-5 Light Twelve Made in Belgium

Browning Auto 5 Light Twelve semi-auto 12 gauge shotgun, made in Belgium. Serial number 4G430xx dates to 1964.  

This is an earlier production Auto-5, with round knob pistol grip stock. Barrel is 26 inches with vent rib and fixed modified choke. Chamber handles 2 3/4 inch shells. Length of pull is 14 1/4".

The shotgun features a gold plated trigger and black plastic buttplate marked "FN BROWNING AUTOMATIC". The receiver features scroll engraving and is marked "Light Twelve" and "BROWNING" on the left side. The barrel is marked "MADE IN BELGIUM" and "BROWNING ARMS COMPANY ST. LOUIS MO."

This Auto 5 is in excellent used condition. Bluing is 98 percent plus, with just some light scratches on handling marks on the barrel. We see just a couple of areas of very light surface pitting, on the receiver tang. Bore is mirror bright. The stock and forearm are very nice with no cracks. There is one large scratch on  the right buttstock, (see photo) it is not a crack and not deep. 

We test fired the gun and it functions perfectly.
