Browning A5 Sweet 16 MOSGH 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. The Sweet Sixteen name honors the classic Auto-5 in 16 gauge, a long time favorite of bird hunters, and the 16 gauge sits between the 20 and the 12 in payload and recoil.

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.

MOSGH Camo

The stock, forearm and metal are covered in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat. Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat is built for marsh and field blinds, with grass shapes that blend into cattails and dead vegetation.

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.

16 Gauge Ammunition

16 gauge shells are not stocked as widely as 12 or 20 gauge, especially non toxic waterfowl loads, so buy ammunition before the season. This gun has a 2 3/4 inch chamber, so do not use longer shells.

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.
