Browning Auto 5 repairs. ??

[4570 Rifleman]

Anyone know a gunsmith who repairs the Browning Auto to 5 shotgun ???

Does it have tire track prints on it?

Look for an older shop in your area... older smiths most likely will have worked on Auto 5's.

What is wrong with yours?

Hi. What is wrong with it? Can you be specific?

Prolly has the friction rings installed incorrectly
Yes, more information is required to possibly assist without having to send it away or cost lots of money for a possible simple fix.

Chat with David Henry of Bentley, AB. He knows his biscuits.

OP, what's the specific problem?

Any gunsmith.. not much can go wrong with those outstanding shotguns. Maybe the friction rings are mixed up..

Bought my Auto 5 cheap because it wouldn't cycle any load of any kind. Someone had forced the friction brake and spring from a 16/20 gauge onto the mag tube. Nothing would make that barrel budge when firing with that setup lol!

The bolt will only come half way back and if you let go of the bolt lever it snaps forward. It just can't return fully to the rear.

Browning , Montreal has put me onto their gunsmith who is very familiar with the gun and the problem...THANKS FELLOWS FOR YOUR COMMENT

Arff a looky'ear……………………………….

I'd pull the rear stock off and have a gander at the
spring mechanism and it's related parts.
Careful with what screws you pull out of the tang
as they all don't need to come out.

Yep he spring is probably full of loon SH%#....most of the time anyways...lol

It could be the action spring yes, but anything the bolt moves could be the culprit. Carrier assembly, Barrel locking block, hammer all gets brought back with the bolt assembly. Just a couple thoughts
