Was presented with the opportunity to buy what was described to me as a 16 ga Browning Auto 5, and when it was handed to me that was sure what it looked like.
But, it's a Remington. Says "Sportsman" on the bolt.
Take it apart and it appears to be an Auto 5 in all respects, down to the same friction ring design and everything else.
The barrel is marked Remington, and something about licensed from Browning. (I don't have it with me at the moment).
It is in excellent condition and appears well kept.
I can buy it for $400 which for a Browning is a steal and I am assuming it's a good price for this as well since it appears to be the same darned thing.
However, I didn't know Remington made a copy and don't know the value or reliability of the thing.
Anyone know anything about this Remington/Browning?
Many thanks!
