Since we are showing some of our older guns I will attach photo of my 12ga. Browning Auto Five, made circa 1936.
There is a story behind this gun. I was my wifes fathers gun. One night my wifes mother thought there was a burglar in the basement closet of their walk out basement home. She took the Auto Five and put the stock against the basement wall to absorb the recoil and shot through the basement closet door. She then ran back upstairs......why run when you have a 12ga. Auto five in your hands.
The recoil broke the stock. I had to replace the stock and the closet door. Notice in the photo the stock and forearm really don't match.
The police were called. No burglar found, but the police assured her that if there was a burglar they were real sure he/she would not return.
