The Sweet Sixteen configuration uses a smaller, purpose-built 16-gauge receiver for a lighter field gun while retaining the A5's signature humpback profile for a familiar sight plane. The aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight down, and the silver/nickel-colored bolt uses a round bolt-release button on the right side. A gold-colored trigger completes the classic Browning look.
The 28" barrel is vent-ribbed and threaded for the Invector-DS choke system with DS muzzle threads. Sight alignment is fast and clear with the red fiber-optic front bead and a mid-bead on the rib. A flush Invector-DS MOD choke is installed, and the barrel is chambered for 2 3/4" shells.
Powered by Browning's Kinematic Drive, this semi-automatic operates on an inertia system designed for clean cycling. Capacity is 3+1, and the cross-bolt safety provides intuitive operation. Speed Load Plus allows quick chambering from the magazine, and Speed Unload clears the magazine rapidly.
The gloss walnut stock and forend feature cut checkering for a secure hold. Browning's Inflex II recoil pad helps manage recoil movement, and the included length-of-pull spacers allow simple fit adjustments. Length of pull is 14.0 inches as configured.
