Browning A-5 12 Gauge Shotgun

Does the Browning 12 Gauge Magnum Semi-Auto Shotgun have a single or double recoil spring ?
Gun is from the 1960 era

Thanks,
Jimmy

Single. Make sure the friction ring is in the proper place for magnum loads

Also make sure buffer spring is no impacted with crud. I can
cause short stroking after years without cleaning. All oils and
dirt end up there. I run into A5s that have never been apart
for a complete cleaning for 50+ years. The knife slot screws
keep a lot of Bubbas out of them.
