Browning Silver Field 12GA 3.5" Semi-Auto Shotgun 28" FDE Camo

The Browning Silver Field 012434204 delivers reliable semi-automatic performance for waterfowl hunters demanding versatility in challenging conditions. This 12-gauge platform handles both 2.75" and 3.5" shells with consistent cycling, backed by Browning's proven Active Valve gas system that self-regulates for different loads.

What Makes This Different

The Active Valve gas system automatically adjusts to shell length and power level, eliminating manual adjustments between light target loads and heavy waterfowl magnums. The flat dark earth Cerakote finish on barrel and receiver resists corrosion better than traditional bluing, while the Realtree Max-7 synthetic stock provides concealment in diverse terrain. Most competing semi-autos require manual gas system adjustments or struggle with reliable cycling across different shell types.

Key Features

• Active Valve gas system cycles 2.75", 3", and 3.5" shells automatically
• 28" barrel with Invector-Plus choke system for versatile patterning
• 4+1 capacity with 3" shells, 5+1 with 2.75" shells
• FDE Cerakote barrel and receiver finish for corrosion resistance
• Realtree Max-7 synthetic stock with textured grip surfaces
• Aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight manageable at 7.5 lbs
• Fiber optic front sight for quick target acquisition

Field performance centers on the gas system's ability to handle everything from light dove loads to heavy 3.5" waterfowl shells without adjustment. The 28" barrel provides sufficient velocity for long-range waterfowl hunting while maintaining swing characteristics for upland birds. Weather sealing at critical points protects against moisture infiltration during extended hunts in wet conditions.
