the Browning Auto 5 proved tough enough for the boats, dirt, water, and mud of water fowling.
Anecdote Alert: A coworker was an avid duck hunter, making regular pilgrimages to Arkansas for the purpose.
Every time he or one of his group bought a new Browning - they seemed to change guns awful frequently - he would take it to their regular gunsmith who would cut the butt at an angle to give a lot of pitch down for easy pointing at decoying ducks dropping down.
