Winchester model 50 1954 Remington Model 58 1956 I don't think there was a gas operated before these two although I did see prototype of a converted win model 12 Winchester to function as an auto-loader they were working on it before these two came on the seen

according to information i have the first auto loading shotgun was the clair sporting shotgun produced about 1895 it had blackpowder shells and was a failure because blackpowder and gas operation was not compatible .
