You are considering a vintage Belgian FN 1952 Browning Auto-5 12-Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun. It’s in good condition for its age with no major issues to concern yourself with. The woodwork is holding up nicely and has not been cut down — it has light handling, usage, and storage wear — no deep cuts, gouges, or cracks. The stock features a LOP of around ~14 inches. The metalwork is all original and has not been refinished — it sports around 85% of its bluing and doesn’t have any damage concerns. All of the inscriptions and markings are legible. The barrel measures 29 inches in length and includes a front bead sight — it is chambered for 12 gauge shotshells, and it does not have a rib. The bore is bright and shiny with no fouling or pitting. The action is sound and everything locks up nice and tight.
