Thanks for all the good advice. I think it must be the magazine spring. I won't be able to find one until Tuesday afternoon, after the first morning's dove shoot. Meanwhile I will plan on using my Citori o/u which is just as effective. I like the Auto-5 because I cut my wisdom teeth on my grandfather's Remington pre-1911 auto, after I graduated from my first shotgun, a H&R 20 gauge single shot, at the age of 14. Buying my first Browning Auto-5, new, when I was 19 was a step to maturity, a real grown-up's gun, comparable to being allowed, to occasionally carrying my dad's Colt 1911AI, or driving his Packard Clipper Delux on a date, but not at the same time.
