Browning A5 Auric 12 Gauge 28 Inch Overview

The A5 name goes back to John Browning and the original Auto-5, and the modern A5 keeps the famous humpback receiver profile. This camo version is built for waterfowl and turkey hunters who need a gun that disappears in a blind and runs in bad weather.

Kinematic Drive Action

Kinematic Drive is a short recoil inertia design. The bolt and barrel use recoil energy to cycle the action, which keeps carbon out of the receiver and lets the gun run clean in cold, wet weather. Like any inertia gun, it needs a firm shoulder to cycle reliably.

Adjustable Composite Stock

The composite stock has a vertical grip and textured gripping surfaces, and it is shim adjustable for length of pull, cast and drop so you can fit it to your build. Browning lists a 14 1/4 inch length of pull and an Inflex 2 recoil pad.

Auric Camo

The stock, forearm and metal are covered in Browning AURIC camo. AURIC is the Browning designed concealment pattern, with gold and tan tones meant to blend into dry grass, cut fields and late season marsh.

Barrel, Sight and Chokes

The 28 inch barrel has a fiber optic front sight and takes flush Invector-DS choke tubes. Browning includes Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder.

3 1/2 Inch Shells

The 3 1/2 inch chamber handles heavy goose and turkey loads, but those shells kick hard in an inertia gun. Many hunters use 3 inch loads for ducks and keep the 3 1/2 inch shells for geese and turkeys.

Waterfowl Plug

Federal law limits migratory bird hunting to three shells total, so install the magazine plug before you hunt ducks, geese or doves. Check your state rules as well.

Cleaning and Care

Wipe the gun down after a wet hunt and keep a light coat of oil on internal parts. Clean the choke threads so the tubes do not seize.

State Laws

Shotguns are legal to buy in most places, but hunting rules vary by state and species. Pennsylvania buyers can transfer at our Collegeville shop or at any FFL.
