There's a reason old timers get a little misty-eyed when someone says Sweet Sixteen. The 16 gauge has always occupied that sweet spot between the 12 and 20, carrying like a 20 but hitting closer to a 12, and Browning built this modern A5 around a properly scaled receiver instead of just stuffing 16 gauge guts into a 12 gauge frame. The result is a genuinely trim autoloader that tips the scales at 6 pounds 2 ounces, which your arms will appreciate around hour four of a long pheasant march.
Unlike gas guns, the A5 runs on Browning's short-recoil Kinematic Drive system, which uses recoil energy to cycle the action and sends gases out the barrel instead of into the works. That means a cleaner gun, less scrubbing at the end of the season, and reliable cycling across a wide range of loads in cold, wet, muddy conditions. Browning is confident enough to back it with a 100,000 round or five-year guarantee. The iconic humpback receiver isn't just nostalgia either. That flat-topped profile stretches your sighting plane and gets your eye on target fast, aided by a fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid bead.
Full Realtree Max-7 coverage over the composite stock, receiver, and 28 inch barrel keeps you hidden in cattails and flooded timber, and the synthetic furniture shrugs off weather that would have you babying a walnut gun. The stock features a close radius pistol grip with textured surfaces for a sure hold with wet or gloved hands, and it's shim adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, with quarter inch and half inch spacers included so you can dial in the fit. An Inflex II recoil pad takes the edge off what is already a soft-shooting gauge.
With three flush Invector-DS choke tubes included (Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder), 4+1 capacity, and Browning's Total Barrel Dynamics working the pattern, this gun moves comfortably between ducks, doves, upland birds, and weekend clays. It's the classic Sweet Sixteen feel with none of the vintage gun headaches.
It runs on Browning's Kinematic Drive, a short-recoil system that uses recoil energy to cycle the action rather than tapping gas from the barrel. Gases exit the muzzle instead of getting pumped back into the receiver, so the gun stays cleaner and cycles reliably in nasty weather. Browning backs the system with a 100,000 round or five-year guarantee.
Yes, and that's a big part of the appeal. Browning scaled the aluminum alloy humpback receiver specifically to the 16 gauge instead of using a 12 gauge frame, which is how the gun comes in at just 6 pounds 2 ounces. You get 20 gauge carry weight with a payload much closer to a 12.
It ships with three flush-fit Invector-DS choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That trio covers everything from tight pass shooting to close-flushing upland birds. Invector-DS tubes use a gas seal design that helps keep fouling out of the threads for easier swaps.
You can. The composite stock is shim adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, and Browning includes 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch spacers so you can fine tune the length of pull from the standard 14-1/4 inches. Combined with the Inflex II recoil pad, it's easy to get a comfortable, consistent mount.
