I recently bought a browning double auto in a pawn shop in fair condition (around 65%) and was wondering if anyone knew anything about these or could offer a little info on when they were made or knew what the approximate value might be. Thanks | ||

As I recall, the action is a "short recoil" or recoiling chamber design. The steel receiver model was called the "Twelvette" and the aluminum receiver was called the "Twentyweight". A nice, clean, fasthandling design, but never gained much popularity due to the limitation of two shots while other autos provided up to five. I think there were two different grades, distinguished by the amount of gold inlay. I really can't say what one is worth, but most any gun in 65% condition is only worth whatever it will bring as a "shooter". It seems like these guns were made from about the late 50's or early 60's until somewhere in the late 60's. You might find better dates on the Browning website: www.browningarms.com I'm enough of a Browning fan that I'd buy one at the right price, just for the sake of ownership; I'll wager there are a lot more people out there like me in that regard. | |||

Usually,just the barrels will sell on e-Bay for more than that, esp. if not "full"choke..Congrats..Idabull ![]() | |||

Ark_Fxxxxxx: Sourced from "Blue Book xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",19th Ed. Browning Double Auto Manufactured from 1952 to 1971. 60% ,plain barrel,$200. Vent rib. $245-295,depending on steel or Alum Frame model. Hearsay that the alum frame ones,especially the "twentyweight" were as prone to peening and frame cracks as the winchecter md.59..something to watch for,anyway...Idabull ![]() | |||
