Browning Auto-5 in 20-gauge magnum (made in Japan) Auto-5 field stripped. The Browning Auto-5 is a long-recoil operated semi-automatic shotgun. Shells are stored in a tubular magazine under the barrel. When a chambered shell is fired, the barrel and bolt recoil together (for a distance greater than the shell length) and re-cock the hammer.
The Browning Double Automatic Shotgun is a short-recoil operated [2] semi-automatic (auto-loading) 12-gauge shotgun with a 2 + 3 ⁄ 4-inch chamber. The firearm was produced between 1952 and 1971, with production volume of approximately 67,000. Production date amended from 1955 to 1952 according to direct information from manufacturer.
John Browning filed a patent for a “hammerless” shotgun with a unique take-down barrel and locking breech block on 10 Jul 1903. It was approved on 7 Feb 1905, and along with a separate 27 Aug 1907 patent that applied to the connection between the slide arm and the fore-end, became the Stevens Model 520.
The inline six-cylinder 71 series engine was introduced as the initial flagship product of the Detroit Diesel Engine Division of General Motors in 1938.. This engine was in high demand during WWII, necessitating a dramatic increase in output: about 57,000 6-71s were used on American landing craft, including 19,000 on LCVPs, about 8,000 on LCM Mk 3, and about 9,000 in quads on LCIs; and 39,000 ...

Some newer 12 gauge and 20 gauge Citori models have back-bored barrels. These are barrels with slightly larger bore diameters. Their purpose is to improve shot patterns by reducing the friction of the shot charge on the barrel wall, while also reducing felt recoil. Models with back-bored barrels use Invector Plus choke tubes.
Attaching the barrel to the receiver using a barrel nut and a barrel with a shoulder is an alternative to action threads, which has been used in firearms such as the Sten gun and AR-15. Hand tools Quick barrel change systems is an increasingly popular alternative, as seen in for example SIG Sauer 200 STR , Roessler Titan or Blaser R8 .
