daniel11994 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 It won't be winning any beauty contests but given it's age that can be forgiven. Made in Belgium, this gun is coming up on it's 95th birthday, and will easily outlive all of us. An opportunity for you to own a piece of fine Browning history, in a classic gauge. As usual on older A5s the forend has cracked at the back, nearest to the action. This has been well repaired with epoxy. Serial number places this gun in 1929. A nice 27" barrel with a solid rib. Not easy to find a 16 bore A5 with a rib of this age. The barrel is from a 1937 gun. Marked for full choke. Chambered to 2.9/16". You can get cartridges in this size. In fact Eley use this size case for their 16 bore cartridges. No speedload feature - the gun predates the invention of the 2 piece A5 lifter. If you do find a 2 piece lifter for a 16 bore you can swap this in. Section 2. 3 shots only. £300 firm. I will include 50 cartridges with the gun. Collection only near Dartford. Happy to meet at a local clay shoot to sell it to you. Any questions or requests for more photos, please ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minky Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 That looks nice and will chop stuff down exactly as the first day it was used and if cared for will outlast all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 14" The original LOP for the time would have been 14". The LOP for the 16ga was increased to 14.1/4" in 1931. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
