This Magnum Twenty variant is chambered for 3 in 20-gauge shells and is marked accordingly on the receiver and barrel. Capacity is 2+1 with 3 in shells, and ejection is from the right-side port. The long-recoil action is the hallmark of the Auto-5 series.
The 26 in vent rib barrel has a matted top and a brass bead front sight for a clean sight picture. It is "Special Steel" marked and fitted with a fixed Improved Cylinder choke, a versatile constriction well-suited to many field roles.
Fit and finish are classic Belgian Browning: a polished blued steel receiver and barrel with factory Browning scroll engraving and the Browning wordmark/logo. The trigger is gold-colored, complementing the traditional presentation.
The stock set is gloss-finished wood with checkering and a pistol-grip profile, paired with a matching wood fore-end. Length of pull measures 14.0 in, providing a comfortable, traditional fit.
Barrel and receiver markings include "Made in Belgium" and the Browning Arms Company St. Louis, Mo. & Montreal, P.Q. address, underscoring its FN Belgian manufacture in the late 1960s.
