Today at a club fun shoot I saw an unusual Old browning shotgun. It was a semi auto but it had no magazine tube. On the right side was the normal ejection port, on the lower left of the receiver it has a shell shaped insertion port. The owner put a shell in the port on the lower left and when he pushed it in the bolt closed, bring the gun into battery. Upon firing the shell ejected out the right side of the receiver. The bottom of the receiver had an opening and a strange looking mechanism that may have been designed to hold a second shell. This was from a deceased relative's collection the owner told me.
they had no manual for it and knew nothing about it or how to load a second shell as any attempt resulted in the bolt slamming shut. No apparent way to attach a magazine either. On the barrel it said browning arms USA and had the shell size and gauge, and that was it.
Anyone have any idea what model this is and how it operates?
Thanks
