There's a reason old timers get a little misty when someone mentions a Sweet Sixteen. The 16 gauge has always been the in-between sweet spot, a gun that carries like a 20 gauge but throws a payload much closer to a 12. Browning built this modern A5 on a smaller receiver sized specifically for the 16, so you get that quick, lively feel in the hands instead of a 12 gauge frame wearing a smaller barrel. At right around 6 pounds with a 26 inch barrel, this is the kind of gun you can tote through grouse cover or a dove field all day without thinking about it.
The squared-off receiver isn't just a nod to John Browning's original Auto-5. That flat top extends your sighting plane, which helps your eye settle naturally down the rib to the fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead. Underneath, the Kinematic Drive system runs on recoil energy rather than gas, so fouling gets pushed out the muzzle instead of into the action. It cycles clean, runs a wide range of loads without adjustment, and Browning stands behind it with a 100,000 round guarantee. The Auric camo covers the composite stock and metalwork for full concealment, and the textured grip surfaces keep things secure when your gloves are wet.
Out of the box you get shims to adjust cast and drop, plus quarter inch and half inch spacers to dial in length of pull. The Inflex II recoil pad soaks up what little kick the 16 gauge produces, and the 2.75 inch chamber feeds from a 4+1 capacity magazine. Three flush Invector-DS choke tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder cover everything from tight turkey patterns to close flushing birds.
Between the light weight, the fast handling, and a finish that shrugs off weather, this A5 Sweet Sixteen is built for hunters who put real miles on their guns. Pick one up and you'll understand why the 16 gauge is making a comeback.
It runs on Browning's Kinematic Drive, a short recoil-operated system rather than a gas action. That means powder fouling exits the muzzle instead of gumming up the internals, so it stays cleaner between range trips. Browning backs the system with a 5 year, 100,000 round guarantee.
This is a dedicated 16 gauge receiver, scaled down just like the original Sweet Sixteen Auto-5s were. That's why the gun weighs right around 6 pounds and swings so quickly. It handles closer to a 20 gauge while delivering a heavier payload downrange.
The chamber is 2.75 inches, which covers essentially all factory 16 gauge ammunition since the gauge is standardized around that shell length. It holds four rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber. The Kinematic Drive action cycles a wide range of field and target loads without any adjustment needed.
Yes, and that's one of its best features. It ships with shims to adjust cast and drop, plus quarter inch and half inch stock spacers to fine-tune length of pull. Between those adjustments and the Inflex II recoil pad, most folks can get a proper gun fit without a trip to a stock fitter.
