Belgian Browning Auto 5

[passintime]

I have a Belgian Browning auto-5 16 gauge shotgun that I am looking to get rid of and need to know what a good price range for this is. The gun is near mint, was a pre-war model (I believe Browning told me that serial number dates it to 1930 or so). There is not a scratch on this gun, not in the wood or the metal. This is an Ogden, Utah addressed gun and made in Belgium of course. Any idea what I should expect to get out of this gun? Thanks! Let me know if more info is needed.

Their prices are all over the place. Do you have any after market additions like a polychoke that would lower the value?

I have a 59 sweet 16 with a poly choke and monte carlo stock that is set up for trap. I could care less what the value of this gun is, Its one of my favorites. I hope you get a good price for yours even tough mine is not for sale regardless of value.

It's worth about $150. Where do I send the dough?

J/K. I've actually been seeing the sweet 16s going for $750 to $1k.

passintime,

You need to give more information for us to give a reasonable value:
IIRC
Browning made four grades; 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The pre-WWII 16 gauges had 2 9/16" chambers.
What rib does it have; vented, matte, solid, none?

They start at about $500 or $600 and go up to over $4,000 (if 100%).

Do you have the box and/or original documentation?
