Browning Auto 5
 
So I've been eyeing this Browning Auto 5 at my local gun shop. It's the shorten barrel police version, shortest barrel before needing to get a tax stamp. I can put an extended tube on it if I want, which I will if I get it. It only has a bead sight.

So guys...think this is a good buy? I'll most likely clean the shit out of it once I get it and for $400, I think it's a good deal.

There was once a time when the "Riot Gun" models were cheaper than almost any of the other configurations, but not anymore. Yeah $400.00 isn't bad. The Browning is an interesting model. They can require some TLC, but I know a couple guys who still bad their limit every duck season with a Browning. Actually one of the guys uses a Remington Model 11 if you can believe that. No magnum rounds and steel shot, but he does it. If nothing else the humpback Browning rates very high on the cool scale. Well on my Cool scale, but then I'm a nut when it comes to the old guns. If you get it be sure to post photos.

Well I'm biased because I like the Old Ones, but it sounds like a good deal to me. The Police models or Riot Gun configurations are pretty popular with collectors anymore. If nothing else it rates high on the Cool scale. Some would say it's obsolete, but who cares? Be sure to post photos if you get it.

Go for it! I've been looking for a cheap Remington 11 to chop to riot configuration for awhile.
