The Browning A5 Sweet Sixteen is a lightweight, gas-free autoloading shotgun built for hunters who want the perfect balance of power and handling. This 16-gauge A5 Wicked Wing edition delivers the reliability Browning's autoloaders are famous for—backed by a 5-year/100,000-round guarantee—in a gun that weighs less and swings faster than a 12-gauge while packing shot loads closer to one. The 26-inch barrel and 2-3/4-inch chamber give you the flexibility to load for whatever the day demands, all wrapped in a purpose-built platform that works in mud, cold, heat, and grime without flinching.
What makes the A5 tick is its Kinematic Drive short-recoil system, a time-tested operating principle that converts recoil energy into pure mechanical function. No gas ports to clog, no complex internals to foul—just simple, consistent cycling across the full spectrum of field conditions and ammunition types. The action stays cleaner because gases exit the barrel, not into your face and receiver. Inside, the bolt and shell carrier wear nickel-Teflon coatings for corrosion resistance and smooth operation, while the bore is fully chrome-plated to shrug off the wear that comes with regular use.
You'll notice the Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish on the receiver and barrel right away—it's durable, looks purposeful, and happens to break up in the field better than plain blue. The Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camo composite stock is textured where your hands grip it, and the oversized bolt release and bolt handle are easy to manipulate even when you're bundled up or under pressure. Three extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) come in the box, and the stock is shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop, with spacers included.
This is a shotgun built by people who understand that a 16-gauge done right doesn't need apologies. The humpback receiver profile mirrors the original Auto-5 design, giving you a longer sighting plane and that classic A5 profile hunters have trusted for generations.

This is a 16-gauge shotgun. The 16 sits between the 12 and 20 in a sweet spot: it weighs closer to a 20-gauge for handling speed and comfort, but carries a shot payload much nearer to a 12-gauge. Many hunters find that a well-designed 16-gauge like this one patterns better than either extreme and offers the best balance of power and manageability for a range of hunting scenarios.
The A5 comes with three extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. You also get 1/4 and 1/2 inch stock spacers for adjusting length of pull, plus a fiber-optic front sight and ivory mid-bead sight already installed.
The composite stock is shim-adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop. The included 1/4 and 1/2 inch spacers let you customize the length of pull to fit your frame and shooting style.
Yes—the Wicked Wing edition is designed for hunting, and the Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat camo finish, the three extended Invector-DS Goose Band choke tubes, and the proven reliability of the Kinematic Drive system all support field use. The 2-3/4-inch chamber accepts standard waterfowl loads.
