Browning A5 Lightning Sweet Sixteen 16 GA 26" 2.75" Shotgun

In the not-so-distant past if your buddy uttered the phrase "Sweet Sixteen," your eyebrows didn't go up - you knew he was talking about the superb handling Browning® Auto-5 in 16 gauge. This new example includes another feature common to classic Browning shotguns, the Lightning Style stock. This semi-pistol grip design is noted by the rounded knob at the bottom of the grip. Aesthetics aside, to many shooters, the relaxed grip angle offers a quick, instinctive grasp and easy reach to the trigger - making it ideal for fast-flushing upland birds like pheasant, quail and chukar.

The in-between 16 gauge is, to many hunters, the ideal ammunition for the perfect gun. A well designed 16 gauge is closer in weight to a 20 gauge, with a shot payload nearer the 12 gauge, and patterning that bests them both. Like its most revered predecessor, the Browning A5 16 gauge is built on a smaller, lighter receiver for reduced weight and a sleek feel in your hands. It also benefits from the advantages of Total Barrel Dynamics and the Invector-DS choke tube system to extract the most performance from this revered gauge. The humpback receiver profile increases the length of the sighting plane to give you the same advantage the first Auto 5s were famous for.

In its simplest term, kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The new Browning A5 makes better use of kinetic energy with its powerful, short recoil-operated Kinematic Drive™ System. Kinematic Drive harnesses recoil energy and converts it into the mechanical motion needed to operate the action. The beauty of Kinematic Drive is the simplicity of design for consistent, reliable function with any load and under the full extremes of weather, temperature, moisture and grime. This gun is designed to work, come hell or high water. Operation is clean because gases are sent out the barrel and away from the action.
