mudpatten Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Use the site search engine. We`ve had this discussion fairly recently. All may not be as well with them as it seems. A mate of mine has one and it fails to cycle constantly. I seriously thought about getting one but have changed my mind and now will not.

browning123 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 There have been a number of posts on PW lately where members have complained about the A5 jamming when being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fib new Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 I've got one. So far it only did not like light 24gram loads. Shot only a few hundred cartridges trough it though. Nice handling gun. I'll keep you posted on any problems that might occur in the future. Most of my shooting is with 32gram field loads and some 28gram steel for clay.

Fib new Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Uhm, my maxus could not cycle the same 24gram loads... As said before, I like the new A5. Handles nice, shoots nice and no problems so far... But then again, never had any problems with my old Browning gold s/a either... And that was a gun that did not work 95% of the time according to the shooting forums. So I just might be a bit lucky!
