Browning A5 MAGNUM 12Ga From 1960

This fine shotgun comes from an estate sale. The remarkable thing about it is, besides the excellent condition of a 64 year old gun that there is no cracks anywhere on the stocks. These Magnum Shotguns were known to crack under abuse. But this one shows very little usage at all. It was a father's gun, and he had not hunted for many decades. Here is a chance to own a collectible Shotgun in great shape, for the goose or turkey hunt, or just to marvel at its balance and craftsmanship. An original browning magazine limit plug comes along, as well as a case.

The Humpback Heavyweight Legend: Golden-Age Belgian Craftsmanship, Long-Recoil Magnum Power, and Vintage Collector Royalty of the 1960 Browning A5!

Designed by the genius John Moses Browning and handcrafted in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale in 1960, the Browning Auto-5 Magnum 12-Gauge represents the absolute golden era of semi-automatic shotguns. As the world’s first successful auto-loading shotgun, the vintage 1960 Magnum model stands as a prized icon built specifically to tame heavy wildfowling loads.

Built with an indestructible steel receiver featuring the iconic "Humpback" profile, this Belgian beauty features a 32-inch vent-rib barrel, chambering for heavy 3-inch Magnum 12-gauge shells, rich hand-checkered French walnut furniture, and an intricate hand-engraved receiver. Its historic long-recoil operating system moves the entire barrel back with the bolt during firing, mechanical movement engineered for absolute reliability in freezing marshes.

The true majesty of owning a 1960 FN-made A5 lies in handling a true masterpiece of old-world steel-and-wood artistry with thunderous downrange performance. Its long sight radius and balanced weight turn heavy magnum recoil into a smooth, rhythmic push. Resting in your display, this vintage Belgian treasure will reign supreme—its deep hand-blued steel, squared-off receiver, and gleaming figured walnut radiating vintage duck-blind heritage, mechanical perfection, and untouchable shotgun prestige!
