Welcome....

Here's a manual for it ...that should get you started.

http://media.browning.com/pdf/om/auto5_light_om_s.pdf

If you have some buddies that are into older shotguns / the Auto 5's are going back into production - but its a different mechanical system than they had back in the day - but some of your buddies may give you a hand with it.
If you don't know anyone that is familar with the Auto 5's -- I'd find a gunsmith that is knowledgeable on them ...have him or her - go thru it / check it out - show you how to clean and lube it properly - or they tend to be a "jam O-Matic" ...if you don't know how to take care of them. But properly cared for ...they're still solid shotguns.

You can also go to the Browning website ...and date your gun.

If you do some searches on the forum ...there is a lot of stuff out there / discussions on the Auto 5's.
