Does anyone here have experience with a Browning Sweet Sixteen? I was looking for an A5 for a while and saw this one at a local shop. It is an FN made A5, full choked, marked as a Sweet Sixteen on the side, has an X prefix to the serial number. I have never owned an A5 or a Sixteen gauge before and was wondering if there were anything that I needed to be careful with. No pictures yet, but will have some this weekend when I pick it up.

The "X" suffix ran until 59 or 60.....wonderful shotgun with quality in and out.
Have a 1965 since i was 12......love it........never been in a shop, replaced anything or failed.
shells are out there .......most will not carry 16ga.....lots of choices and easy to get onlineLast edited by Thefeeder; 05-31-2012, 8:11 PM.Comment

If I had the opportunity to buy one I would, they are solid shooters and hold their value well as most Brownings will.
16 gauge shells can be hard to find but Midway always has them in stock. Having a 16 or two is also a very good reason to start reloading.

I started with one owned by my stepdad in 20ga, got one in 12ga when I was 18. I remember him looking for a sweet 16 for a really long time, but now he's too old to hunt and sold off most his shotguns. He kept the 20 ga browning though.Comment
