winnie&bezza Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 hi chaps, I really like the look of the new A5 and am just wondering if anyone has heard anything about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I do not know about the new one's but I will be shooting one made in 1907 in the north v south pigeon watch charity shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinchesterDave Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Well browning have given them a 100,000 round guarantee... So they are meant to be really reliable, however I'm sure I've read somewhere (maybe even on here, I don't know) that they have been un reliable with their cycling? But that could be to do with cartridge size and load because they are inertia and not has operated. The only experience I've had of one is at the shooting show a couple of months back when they were first launched, it felt like a good well built gun which was easy to shoulder and point I found. Best way would be to try one out and shoot it I guess. I'd certainly like to shoot one. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapFiller Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Try shotgun world, the American shooting forum. More than likely something one there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordfowler Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Mate of mine bought a new recently. He became so fed up with the constant jamming so after several trips back to the gun dealer. Now owns a Remmy and is very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Take a look on the site search engine. Some eye opening stuff on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie&bezza Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Cheers for info fellas and andy H i would love to see that old a500.Mudpatten do you mean this site search or browning website search? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 This site`s search engine mate. The same question was asked a short while ago. Further to my correspondence in that other thread, the mate of mine who recently bought one that I had a look at has subsequently used it three or four times clay shooting and has been plagued with stoppages.

winnie&bezza Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 not looking good for the A5 then! ha. Real shame though as I really fancied one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fib new Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Bought one a few weeks ago. Nothing wrong with it so far. Nice handling gun. Tried light loads and some standard loads, worked every time so far. Recoil is a bit heavier than a gas-operated s/a, but not as heavy as a sxs or o/u.
