THE AUTO-5
THE AUTO-5
This is the inside the story of one of Browning’s most legendary milestones — the two millionth Auto-5 shotgun.
From John M. Browning’s groundbreaking design in 1902, through FN’s survival after World War II, to the presentation-grade Auto-5 that never quite fulfilled its destiny, this is a tale of innovation, resilience, and legacy. Along the way, we’ll uncover surprising connections — from Elvis Presley’s gift to President Nixon, to the shotgun’s disappearance into private hands decades later.
