When Winchester refused his terms, Browning went to Remington. John Browning presented his design (which he called his best achievement) to Winchester, where he had sold most of his previous designs. Remington Arms sold a variant called the Remington Model 11 that was nearly identical but lacked the magazine cutoff found on the Browning. The name of the shotgun designates that it is an autoloader with a capacity of five rounds, four in the magazine and one in the chamber. It was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun design, and remained in production until 1998. The Browning Automatic 5, most often Auto-5 or simply A-5, is a recoil-operatedsemi-automatic shotgun designed by John Browning.
