I have a browning automatic 12 ga , I've had it around for about 30 yrs now. It has Browning arms company ST Louis MO stamped on barrel, browning trad mark on each side of the receiver, serial # B41655 . Has no model # I beleive it was made in the USA by Remington between 1905- 1948 its a good old shotgun, still use it . Question; Is there any way i can find the year its was made..

I had a old 20 gauge Remington auto, USA made with the Browning action...I looked it up and found it to be made around 1952-1955.
I was suprised to find it was not made in Belgium,but right here in the USA!...Good luck on your search...let us know...

IIRC Both Remington and Stevens made the browning a5 patent guns . Remington also made the Browning a5 shotguns while Belgium was under Nazi occupation during ww2. If you have an " American Browning" and need parts replaced you will need to use Remington model 11 parts not European Browning parts for the most part since they are in fact different.

1940-1946 From 1940 to 1946 production of the Auto-5 was turned over to Remington. Serial number is on the side of receiver. "ABC" for American made Version. (A=16 gauge, B-12 gauge, C=20 gauge) 1946+229,000-237,000

However Remington date coded some of the shotguns with their date codes . Look on the right side of the barrel next to the receiver for a stamp such as RR or whatever , then go to http://www.remingtonsociety.com/ques...ACKPOWDERX.htm to look up the date code if its found

Thank you all for your help. Redneck repairs, the right side has a ''E'' stamped on the barrel, the lelf side is to worn to read. acording to the chart on web site you gave me ''E'' represents the year 1936. That was to easy. Thanks again.
