Any info would be appreciated.Īnswer: The excellent Browning Auto-5 semiautomatic shotgun, designed by John Browning, was introduced by Fabrique Nationale (FN) in Belgium in 1903. On the side of the receiver it says “BROWNING”, and there are engravings on both sides of the receiver and at the bottom of the triggerguard. On the barrel it says “MADE IN BELGIUM,” on top of barrel it also has, “BROWNING ARMS COMPANY ST LOUIS MO and MONTREAL P.Q.” The serial number is 1M 47XXX. I looked on the Browning website and cannot figure out when this shotgun was made. Question: I have an older Browning Auto-5 12-gauge shotgun, and I’ve had it for around 47 years. ![]()
