Tribute to a Classic....show us your Auto-5

[Rich the Butcher]

Hi Folks, as waterfowl season is quickly approaching, I know a lot of us are getting excited to drop some birds...me with my faithful 1969 Magnum 12. This has been the most reliable and well made shotgun I have ever used and thought there must be others who appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of these fine guns as much as I do...so there it is...show us what you've got...if there's a story behind it, even better.
Cheers,
Rich.

No pics but two guys in my deer gang both shoot them with slugs. 1 with a rifled barrel the other with a smooth bore deer barrel. They do pretty good too.

Would like to post a pic or two but not that techy with the process.

I'd like to post a pic too, but I don't have an Auto 5 . Does the maxus hunter count?

Lol, the Maxus' are nice...but are lacking in the "history" department.

I love the Auto5's, I've had few. Just sold my last one on the EE today. Awesome guns, but I just don't shoot them well.

John, I might have to make a trip out to AB to try some of those out! haha....and I still owe you that beer.

There really should be a sticky dedicated to long recoil action semi auto's given the history of the design and the many examples of fine guns made using this type of action

Here is my first Auto 5. It was my sgt's fathers gun and he decided he didn't want guns anymore so he sold me this one. He told me about all the deer and birds its killed so it was pretty cool getting this gun.
