I've got a browning auto 5 in 12ga with a 28" barrel that I'm wanting to cut to something a little more multipurpose with a 20" barrel.
The browning I have has the stippled receiver, lack of half moon disassembly cut and different stock that seems to indicate that this is one of the Remington built Auto 5's (1940-1946). I've heard that this gun actually uses Remington model 11 barrels, rather than the much more expensive Browning barrels.
Any browning experts out there know if there's any truth to this? Also, I know the friction rings needs to be set up differently with a shorter barrel setup, anyone have any practical experience with doing that?
