Browning Auto 5

I have a Browning Auto 5 12 gauge 2-3/4 chamber. It was bought new in 1965. Under the forearm is a schematic that shows the placement of two parts on the barrel according to whether you are shooting light or heavy loads. The drawing is no longer legible so I don't know how to arrange these pieces. Could someone out there help me out on this? A drawing would really be good. Any help would be appreciated.

I can,t think of anyplace that would have a printable schematic that you need. I have the info,but it is in my books,and my camera isn,t that great. I would contact Browning arms and i know they would send you this little info sheet. If not i can make copies for you and send them to you via regular mail. Maybe someone else would know and that would be great for you as well. van

Hey Carp,

Heavy loads: both rings up against the barrel's band that goes around the magazine tube, with the larger ring's "beveled edge" resting against the barrel band, and the smaller ring snug behind it. The smaller of the rings is called the "friction ring" and the inside bevel of the friction ring snugs up against the backside of the larger ring.

Light loads: Large ring stays up against the barrel band, as with the heavy loads. The smaller "friction ring" goes down at the other end of the magazine tube, resting against the receiver, with the inside bevel towards the receiver and the flat side of the friction ring against the big spring.

Shoot straight.

Go to the Browning link below. You can download the factory owners manual and it will have all the info you need. Nice part is you can save it to your computer for future reference or printing.
