Well, technically this is a C&R

Decided to post up a few pics of my new baby. Sorry its not a military firearm, but is still pretty classic and beautiful. Belgian Browning Sweet Sixteen A5. All numbers match, SN dates it to about 1951.













Shot really nicely too!

[rojocorsa]

Yes.

Nice shotgun. Yes, it's definitely in the Curio & Relic category.

Sometimes people forget that C&R is not synonymous with MilSurp.

I hope you plan to shoot it and not just hide it away in some dark and lonely safe.

Took her out today. This one will definitely see a lot of range time.

My Wife's Uncle in Washington is a total gun nut & he still laments the day he sold his Sweet 16.
That Sir, is a C&R, no doubt about it!

Good. Enjoy!

Bruce, this thing is awesome. You need to try it!

Beautiful!!!

for what its worth, this thing was the hardest firearm I have ever worked on. 2.5 hours of looking at a pile of parts thinking "My God, why did I think I should disassemble this and clean it"

My favorite shotgun. Yours is a real beauty

Been looking for one for a while. Went into the gun shop and my friend who owns it says "We just got something in the back that I think you are going to want" Fell in love with it. Some of my friends were giving me a hard time about getting a 16ga instead of a 12, but man is this thing a sweet shooter. Shoulders very naturally for me and makes a good companion for my Browning Double Auto.

Bruce, this thing is awesome. You need to try it!

I will! With my shoulder issues, I will be looking at some C&R semi-auto shotguns, now!

[Cessnapilot89]

Bruce, you would be hard pressed to find something cooler than and with less recoil than an A5. The thing is a sweetheart. I am trying to find one of those nice Browning fitted cases for it now.

Bruce, also look at the older Beretta AL300/301/302/303s . Gas Operated and even less recoil than the A5.

Cody, nice on the A5. I still say the 12 would have been my choice like I told you a couple of weeks ago, but I'm glad you got it.

Erik, tried for the 12, ken then got me hooked on 16 haha.
