My father just passed away and gave me his shotgun. Even though most were used hard and badly worn there are still lots around.\

There is a straight mark on both the barrel and extension, which allows them to be lined up perfectly. But it gets better. I was confused by Brownings list because they make no mention of the note designation for Mag. He acknowledged the lightweight A5 16 gauge guns produced between 1936 and 1947 are in fact Sweet Sixteen and identified as such in the factory issued catalogues. Such as G38000, meaning standard might be light 12ga and then the. They were available in 12ga only until 1925 when the 16ga met out. One gun left Browning two years before the published serial number date. The Belgium guns were just as good quality, if not better, than the Japanese made A-5's.

The production of the Auto-5 began in 1902. Another question I have is about something I read over on gunsandammomag. Another question I have is about something I read over on gunsandammomag.\

I'm trying to put a date on the A-5 I inherited from my Grand Father. I'm guessing it was manufactured in 1937 but have nothing to prove that. Nobody in the family knew GrandPa had a gun and Brownings website only goes back to 1940. Also wonder if anyone can provide information on the markings found on the receiver? Here is a link to some photos. Serial number is blocked out but is 6 digits. Yep and below you will see why. Beginning with Serial Number 1 to approximately 228,000. Exact production figures are not available. Year of manufacture on Pre-World War II production is strictly a guess. Serial number is on the side of receiver. H1-H83000 L1-L83000 1956 Serial Number designation for the Light Weight changed to G. H83001-H99000 G1-G23000 1957 Serial Numbering System changed again. M22000-M85000 G23001-85000 1958-67 From 1958 serial numbers were preceded by the date of manufacture. Serial Number beginning with 01001 at the start of each year. Serial Number Example: 01001RT151 This would be an Auto-5 Magnum 12 ga. Serial Number beginning with 1001 at the start of each year. Date of Manufacture is a two digit code 2000 distribution began in 1999 3. Thanks for the info Toledo. That's a lot more than I have found any where else. Still don't put a good date on it though. The serial number being in the 219xxx range tells me it is before 1940. The number being on the bottom of the receiver and the FN mark tells me it's Belgian made. But that doesn't agree with the data you provided? Guess I'll have to settle for it being pre 1940 and call it good.
