Description
This Browning Auto-5 "Sweet Sixteen" is a classic Belgium-made semi-automatic shotgun, chambered in 16 gauge with a 2 ¾" chamber. Renowned for its long-recoil operation designed by John M. Browning, the Auto-5 remains one of the most iconic shotguns ever produced.
This particular Sweet Sixteen features fine scroll engraving on the receiver, a blued finish, and a checkered walnut stock and forend. Its lightweight design and fast handling made it a favorite among upland bird hunters for decades. The gold trigger and tasteful engraving further highlight Browning’s craftsmanship.
A true field-ready classic with collectible value, the Sweet Sixteen continues to be a sought-after shotgun for enthusiasts who appreciate heritage, balance, and reliable performance. Based on the serial number, we believe that this example was manufactured in 1927.
