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.
| Gauge | 16 |
| Chamber | 2-3/4" |
| Barrel Length | 28" |
| Action | Short-recoil autoloader (Kinematic Drive) |
| Receiver Finish | Burnt Bronze Cerakote |
| Barrel Finish | Burnt Bronze, fully chromed bore |
| Stock | Composite with Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camouflage |
| Sights | Fiber-optic front, ivory mid-bead |
| Choke System | Invector-DS (three extended Goose Band tubes included: F, M, IC) |
| Bolt Release | Oversized, Briley design |

| Length of Pull Adjustment | Shim-adjustable with 1/4" and 1/2" spacers included |
| Warranty | 5-year/100,000-round guarantee |
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.
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.
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.
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.
