From the wide range of options in the Guns.com Warehouse, we bring you a sampling of John Browning’s famous semi-automatic shotgun designs, the iconic Browning Auto-5.

Designed by Browning in 1898 and patented soon after, the Auto-5 became the first mass-produced semi-auto shotgun. Belgium company FN put it into production in 1902.
