Browning Belgian Auto 5

[hnachaj]

I need a value for the estate for this Belgian Browning Auto 5. It has Liege proof marks and would seem to date from 1968. Serial number is OV 19787. It has a 30 inch full plus a well worn 26 1/2 inch full.

Thanks
Henry

This is generally a hunting rifle forum. You'll have more success in the Shotgun Forum. Looks like a fair amount of finish wear. Can't see what the stock looks like but unfortunately these guns don't command much due to the fixed Full choke. I presume the gun is a 3" version?

I played a bit with the serial number and couldn't come up with anything.
You sure you have it posted right?

There is a lot of glare mainly due to the high gloss blue and stock. The 26 1/2 inch barrel has a lot of wear. The action looks great as well as the receiver which has some light engraving. It is a 3 inch version.

Anywhere from $350 to $600 depending on your local market. It isn't in good enough condition for a serious collector. As a shooter the full choke needs to be altered for steel shot and more modern semis are more popular.

The photo looks like it is a magnum model (double recoil springs). I'm not sure of the actual number produced, but they are harder to find. I personally paid about $250 for mine in with 80% finish and no rust or pitting. I would concure with Guntech, there is a wide range of pricing depending on condition and rareness. I would think he is spot on with the $350-600 range.
