I've got a 1964 12 gauge 2&3/4" chambered Browning "Lightweight" Auto-5-- 28" mod.choke, mfg. in Belgium. Bought it new from the Quantico PX in 1965 for $135.00 including tax--It patterns tighter than even any of my Full Choked 12 gauge M12's- even my 3" magnum Heavy Duck-with any shot load you care to shoot in it.
All the finish is well-worn, the gold plated trigger blade is dull from long use- any strange thing, of all my shotguns in 12 gauge, it and my Ithaca 2E NID have the crisp trigger pulls usually found on match target grade handguns (Colt Python and MT Woodsman-- love that old square back beast. About as gracefull as the late Eleanor Roosevelt in her 8th month of pregnancy, and NOT "de riguer" in a grouse moor in Scotland, but it's a shooter and a keeper. RWTF
