Browning two shot auto
I am told that Browning made a two shot auto 12 gauge that was a fairly popular trap gun. My question is, what is the correct model designation for this gun. Thanks Steve

Hello Idaho cowboy. Actually browning made several versions from 1955 to 1971. They were:
Browning Double automatic, Standard grade, Steel receiver
Browning Twelvette Double Automatic, aluminum receiver
Browning Twentyweight Double Automatic
hope this helps you. Regards Dave0 -

they kick like a mule. what made them popular guns on the trap field was you didnt have to break the gun to load it. the speed loader feature was where you could slide a shell into a loading port on the left side and it went right into battery. there wasnt a true trap version of the gun offered other than an optional trap stock. and it was only a straight trap type stock. you could order a center bead and that was about it for having a trap gun. the d. auto was never offered in m/c stock. overall, the gun wasnt popular with only 46,000 guns made in 17 years. shoot it and youll understand. 2 games of skeet was all i could take before i quit. on trap...those full house 1 1/8oz loads were brutal. keep in mind, these were belgian guns, so the chokes were metric. a full was really xfull and skeet was really i/c. all d. autos shot tighter patterns and people couldnt understand why. hope this helps.
