Browning Silver Field Semi-Automatic Shotgun 12 Gauge 3.5" Chamber 28" Barrel 3 Round Capacity Browning Auric Camouflage Stock Flat Dark Earth Finish
Strike Silver. With an easily recognizable semi-humpbacked receiver silhouette, Browning Silver shotguns perfectly honor the historic Browning legacy. The proven Active Valve Gas System of the Silver is one of the softest recoiling and easiest shooting guns available today, delivering a significant decrease in felt recoil over the competition. What sets it apart from other Silver models is the tough, protective Cerakote Flat Dark Earth finish on the barrel and receiver and Browning AURIC hydrographic finish on the stock and forearm. This shotgun is made to be affordable, but functions at the level you expect from other Browning shotguns.
The Active Valve Gas System. The self-adjusting Active Valve Gas System efficiently adjusts to reliably fire a wide range of loads. The piston retains more gas from light loads to aid reliability and vents more gas from heavy loads to lessen felt recoil. Excess gases are vented out the top of the forearm and away from the receiver for cleaner, more reliable operation. Efficient venting of gases reduces felt recoil for faster, more accurate follow-up shots and all-day shooting comfort regardless of the loads being fired. The bolt and bolt slide are coated with a tough, durable phosphate finish.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells.
