Browning Auto 5 - 16 Gauge
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 03. 2024
- Here we have a Browning Auto 5 in 16 gauge, a 1957 production Belgian made beauty with a 26'' barrel, 2 3/4'' chamber, and Improved Cylinder choke. While it was frustrating shooting trap with it that is certainly not its strong suit and I believe it would be a better slug gun.
Mentioned in the video were several related Milsurp Garage CZcams videos that might be of interest.

My grandfather left me his 16 gauge a5 when he died a few years back. I shoot clay with it but in always sad i never knew the history. Your video style is very comfortable and informative.
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for tuning in.
You probably already know about "Art's Gunshop" in Misouri. He is the go to guy for anything pertaining to Browning A-5s. He has some great videos on repairing and restoring them.
A true classic.
That you are Mr. Shep…….you certainly are.
About time. A5 is a hand held claymore. Built like the empire state building in the nyc😢.. I have 3 pre 1911, named Remington auto loading shotgun. I think the kommies stole part of this gem.
Thanks for the vids.
Enjoyed the video as the Auto-5 is one of my favorite design guns and I have two of them. A Beligian made Light 12 and a old model 720 Savage 16 ga. I have taken apart the rougher Savage but not the more immaculate Light 12 though I did manage to take the stock off one time. What a great design!
Browning has said the entire design, the whole thing complete beginning to end, came to him in a dream.
@@MilsurpGarage He was a genius even in his sleep!
They Call it The “Sweet 16” The 16 Gauge Auto 5 Brownings 😀😊😀❤️ Marcellus Hartley Was The President and Owner of Remington That Died of a Heart Attack as Browning Was Waiting to See Him About the Auto 5 😀
HEARTley? Hmmmmm. He probably heard a rumor that Mr. Browning was sitting in his office waiting room with the plans to an auto loading shotgun…..
The sweet sixteens were a special separate lightened model.
I really like these shotguns, I have owned several, for a while a few years back you could pick them up pretty cheap, lately they are going up in price steeply. If you have New Springs and the Friction rings and bronze friction pieces set up properly these shotguns are a pleasure to shoot with very manageable recoil. If you have one that kicks hard the recoil spring is likely collapsed or the friction rings are not set up right or missing.
Everything is going up in price steeply. Thanks for tuning in.
Alas this is very True 😊 I enjoy your channel.
What would be a fair price for a 1953 browning a5 16 gauge?
@@nikkonikko8684There are so many factors……
Check GunBroker and search filter under completed auctions to get a true window.
Quite interesting. I did not know that FN permitted domestic manufacture of models of the A5. Nor did I realize that Winchester was so sensitive to sales of the model 97 that it would balk at manufacture of the A5. It's hard to understand that business decision, as it would seem to me that they could have a "best seller" - which the A5 proved to be - and still would have reasonable sales of a less expensive, well-loved pump action.
I remember R. Lee Ermy's video on the history of shotguns. When he got to the advent of SA shotguns, he shot an A5 and seemed to have some trouble with the recoil. I recall him saying "...you have to really want to shoot that one.."
Thing was, Winchester already HAD the best seller, and the second best, and the third best. You know what they say….. threes company, fours a crowd.
Man do you have great books
I do.......just got Ians (Forgotten Weapons) book Small Arms of WWII.....best old gun book ever. Planning a video on it. Get it. Trust me.
@@MilsurpGarage you have the best books. A true collection.
I still remember your great vids on mausers. I just was able to get them cheap. Chilean, etc.thanks again
I always liked the A5 but I wanted it with more capacity. Was there ever a variation that held at least 6
Maybe it will cycle shorties......worth a try.
I have the Remington version and it's fine gun.
That looks like it could be a tough trap field to shoot? Are those birds breaking above that treeline?
It’s a challenging field. A huge berm causes crazy updrafts, the birds visually skirt the treeline and it’s a wind tunnel. I love that place though.
I think Winchester was impotent machining this gem
The 1911 shotgun is a weird novelty but fun to use. The Model 40 is an interesting long recoil attempt that was pulled in a year but who can say why.....it always works good for me......but it's a little scary given the rumors and conjecture. The model 50 is a floating chamber gem of a shotgun. I love it. Problem is.....I love them all.
I use ic choke for early season pheasant, and it works great. Im thinking the gun just doesnt fit you because ic choke should be a breeze on the trap range
Yeah, but coupled with a 26’’ barrel and 1oz 16 gauge loads?
I’m sure the sight picture I was lining up had a hand in it as I couldn’t find the sweet spot but I certainly felt there wasn’t the same shot velocity or density that my 30’’ full choke 12 gauges have……to a fault.
@MilsurpGarage Yeah, maybe the ammo because I've seen your videos when your smoking clays with a full choke. And that's definitely harder than a more open choke.
Like a pom pom gun
