New Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen
« on: February 22, 2016, 12:40:15 PM »
I see where Browning introduced a Sweet Sixteen variant of thier A5 at this year's Shot Show.  Did any of you that attended the Shot Show get a chance to look at it?

No, but it looks like a beauty and at a lighter weight than the original. I just inherited a Belgian A-5 Twenty gauge and am anxious to get it back from Freer Gun Shop after it has been cleaned, oiled, and inspected. A .22 Belgian semi-auto is also part of my return package.

I have always loved the Auto-5.  I have a Sweet Sixteen that was made in 1961.  It is a real "sweet" gun. Much lighter than the 12 but hits just as hard.  I think I will have to get me one of  these new ones.  Hopefully if a lot of people do the same it might help make 16 gauge ammo easier to find.
