Browning A5 Shotgun Now With 3.5″ Super Magnum 12 Gauge Chamber
Browning’s recoil operated A5 Shotgun is now available with a super magnum 3.5″ chamber. The company says that it should be able to cycle a wide range of loads. The help mitigate the recoil, an improved recoil pad will be installed.
From the press release …
The recoil-operated Kinematic Drive system allows the A5 to cycle a wide range of loads. The A5 features the Vector-Pro lengthened forcing cone and the new Invector-DS choke tube system to deliver tight, consistent shot patterns. To reduce felt recoil, the A5 comes with an Inflex II recoil pad.
A5 3½” models are available with barrel lengths of 26″, 28″ and 30″. Composite-stock models feature Dura-Touch Armor Coating that gives shooters a better grip in wet hunting conditions. The A5 Hunter features a gloss finish walnut stock.
The MSRP of the 3.5″ version will be $1599 for the A5 Stalker (black/synthetic) and $1699 for the A5 Hunter (wood) and camouflage range (Mossy Oak and Realtree) .

Steve, the new A5s do not have recoiling barrels of the old.
They are Browning-made benellis.
Meh, I'm still waiting for the "Browning A5 shotgun, now with A5 guts".
