Browning A5 Brn 0119005004 A5 Ww Swt16 16 2-3/4 28 Mosg

The Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen is a lightweight, short-recoil autoloading 16-gauge shotgun built for hunters who value handling speed and reduced weight without sacrificing shot payload. This Wicked Wing edition combines a smaller humpback receiver, Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camouflage on the composite stock, and Burnt Bronze Cerakote finishes on the receiver and barrel—a durable, field-proven color scheme that stands out at the range but blends in the marsh. If you've ever wanted a 16 gauge that splits the difference between 20-gauge feel and 12-gauge punch, this is it.

The A5's Kinematic Drive System harnesses recoil energy to cycle the action reliably across a wide range of loads and brutal weather. There's no fussing: gases exit the barrel away from the action, keeping the internals clean and responsive in mud, cold, and grime. The bolt and shell carrier are nickel-Teflon coated, the chamber and bore are fully chromed, and the short-recoil design is so proven that Browning backs it with a 5-year, 100,000-round guarantee. Oversized bolt release and bolt handle make operation smooth even with gloves or wet hands.

Fit and function come tuned from the factory: fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead for quick target acquisition, composite stock with textured grip surfaces for control, and shim adjustment for length of pull, cast, and drop (spacers included). Three extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) ship in the box, giving you flexibility for everything from tight patterns to open spreads. This is a serious waterfowl and upland gun that handles like a dream.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a 16-gauge shotgun different from 12 or 20 gauge?

The 16 gauge sits between the 20 and 12: it weighs closer to a 20-gauge shotgun but delivers a shot payload nearer to a 12-gauge, with patterning that many hunters argue bests both. The A5 Sweet Sixteen is built on a smaller, lighter receiver to capitalize on that advantage, giving you reduced weight and faster handling without sacrificing power.

What's included in the box?

The A5 comes with three extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes (Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder), 1/4" and 1/2" stock spacers for length-of-pull adjustment, and the shotgun itself with fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead sight already installed.

Can I adjust the stock for length of pull and drop?

Yes. The composite stock is shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop. Two spacers (1/4" and 1/2") are included to customize fit to your frame and shooting style.

Is the A5 reliable in wet and cold conditions?

The Kinematic Drive system is designed to cycle reliably across extreme temperature, moisture, and debris. The nickel-Teflon coated bolt and shell carrier, fully chromed bore, and short-recoil design work together to keep the gun running in harsh field conditions. Browning backs it with a 5-year, 100,000-round guarantee.
