Double Automatic Shotgun
By Thomas
The Browning 12-ga. Double Automatic shotgun, introduced early in 1955, was designed by Val M. Browning, son of firearms inventor John M. Browning. Manufactured by Fabrique Nationale in Belgium, this gun is designated Double Automatic because it will hold only 2 shells and is self-loading (semi-automatic). Unlocking of the breech is accomplished by an inertia block housed in a tube in the buttstock. Rearward movement of the barrel in recoil is only about Vs'. All types of 234' factory loads, including ZVa' Magnum, can be fired without adjustment.
Initially the Double Automatic was offered in Standard model weighing 7
E. Wessel lbs. 11 ozs. and a lighter Twelvette model weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. The weight saving in the Twelvette model was obtained through use of an alumi-num-allov receiver.
A new version with aluminum allov
receiver, designated Twentyweight, was first offered in 1956. Its name is derived from the fact that its nominal weight of only 6 lbs. with 261/2 ' plain barrel is comparable to that of the ordinary 20-ga. shotgun.
Anodized aluminum receivers of the Twelvette and Twentyweight models can be had in several color combinations, and all models have decorative hand-engraved panels on sides of the receivers.

Hunting Mastery Selected Tips
Deer hunting is an interesting thing that reminds you of those golden old ages of 19th centuries, where a handsome hunk well equipped with all hunting material rides on horse searching for his target animal either for the purpose of displaying his masculine powers or for enticing and wooing his lady love.
