Description
🇧🇪 Browning A-5 “Sweet Sixteen” – 16 Gauge – Made in Belgium.
Original Belgian-made Browning Auto-5 “Sweet Sixteen” in 16-gauge.
A solid field-grade shotgun that’s still a great shooter. Mechanically sound, functions smoothly, and shows honest field use — normal handling marks on the wood and some bluing wear, but no cracks or repairs. Reliable, well-balanced, and lightweight — an excellent choice for upland hunting or as an authentic addition to a Browning collection.
