The Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen 16 Gauge Shotgun, 28-Inch, Walnut from Browning is the walnut and gloss black A5 chambered in 16 gauge (Browning part no. 0118005004). It uses the smaller, lighter receiver Browning designed for the gauge, so it carries closer to a 20 gauge while shooting a payload nearer a 12. The humpback receiver stretches the sighting plane the way the original Auto-5 did, and the Kinematic Drive keeps the action simple and reliable. With a 28-inch barrel and a weight of 5 lb 13 oz, it suits upland birds and a smooth swing on the clays.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 16 gauge, the in-between bore many hunters call the Gentleman’s Gauge.
• The chamber measures 2-3/4-inch, the standard length for 16 gauge field loads.
• The barrel is 28 inches long, back-bored with a lengthened forcing cone for even patterns and softer recoil.
• The tubular magazine holds four 2-3/4-inch shells, the capacity Browning lists for this gun.
• The receiver is gloss black anodized and the barrel is high gloss, a classic finish that sets off the walnut.
• The stock is gloss Turkish walnut with 18 lines-per-inch checkering and a vertical grip, adjustable with shims for length of pull, cast and drop.
• Three flush-mount Invector-DS choke tubes in Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder are included for upland birds and sporting clays.
• The sights are a fiber-optic front bead with an ivory mid-bead, which picks up fast on moving birds.
• The action is Browning’s short-recoil Kinematic Drive, which runs on recoil energy and keeps gas out of the receiver for cleaner operation.
• The gun weighs 5 lb 13 oz, helped along by a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver.
