Browning Auto 5 Sweet Sixteen Semi-Auto Shotgun

Browning Auto 5 Sweet Sixteen Semi-Auto Shotgun

Lot # 1348 (Sale Order: 349 of 649)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
serial #3S14516, 16 ga (2 3/4”), 28” plain barrel choked a tight modified with a bright excellent bore, and a 23 1/2” rifle sighted barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1963-vintage Belgian-made shotgun retain about 99% original blue with perhaps a minor handling mark or two, the bolt and shell lifter remaining bright with a spot of freckling on the lifter, and the trigger retains all its gold finish. The rifle sighted barrel retains 97-98% original blue with a spot of light finish loss about 4” from the muzzle and some minor handling marks. The checkered round knob pistolgrip walnut stock and forend are in near excellent condition with a small spot of fabric patterning to the finish on the toe, a few easily missed minor dings and handling marks, and the FN-Browning hard rubber buttplate shows a neatly repaired chip at the toe. The stock shows an added sling swivel stud on the toeline, its pair on the magazine cap, and displays some nice streaks of dark grain figure at the comb and toe in the otherwise blonde stock. The Browning Grade I foliate scroll and zigzag border engraving remains excellent, the left side of the receiver properly reading “Sweet Sixteen” in script, and the factory barrel markings are intact and easily legible. The shotgun is sighted with a lone steel bead and appears to function well mechanically. Included is a Browning luggage-style hardcase showing some light storage wear, the interior excellent with positions for two barrels and the stocked action, and the manual. A great buck-and-duck combination. (14B10848-27) {C&R} [Rufus Winsor Collection] (1000/1500)

U.S. M1 Garand Rifle By Springfield Armory

U.S. M1 Garand Rifle By Springfield Armory

Lot # 1349 (Sale Order: 350 of 649)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
serial #1541466, 30-06, 24” 4-43 dated Springfield Armory barrel with a very good bore showing light oxidation and pitting but still strong rifling, the final 1/4” show moderate wear. The barreled action retains about 85-90% original gray Parkerized finish with light wear on high edges and contact points, light thinning, and some light handling marks, the gas cylinder showing the typical near complete finish loss to a pewter patina with scattered oxidation staining, and the remaining metal parts retaining about 98% arsenal Parkerized finish with light high edge wear, toning to brown on the stock ferrules, and fine pitting beneath the finish. The pistolgrip walnut stock is in near excellent condition as lightly cleaned with a small ding of the right and a few light handling marks, the handguard in very good condition scattered light dings and abrasions. A partial and softened circled “P” is still visible behind the triggerguard, and the stock is otherwise unmarked. The receiver and barrel markings remain crisp, and all parts are SA-marked including the post-war relief cut operating rod. The rifle retains the standard open sights with T105 rear sight drums, features a milled triggerguard and a 2-slot gas cylinder, and appears to function well mechanically. An attractive mid-WWII M1 rifle that should still perform well at the range. (14A11337-38) {C&R} (1000/1500)
