Browning A5 12 Gauge 28" Vintage Tan Autoloader

The Modern Legend Lives On

The Browning A5 builds on the storied legacy of John M. Browning's original Auto-5, one of the most respected shotguns in hunting and sport shooting history. While it shares the iconic humpback receiver profile with its namesake, the A5 is a thoroughly modern autoloader engineered for reliability, speed, and shootability.

Kinematic Drive System

At the heart of the A5 is Browning's Kinematic Drive—a short recoil-operated system that harnesses the gun's recoil energy and converts it into mechanical motion to cycle the action. This design is remarkably clean: gases exit the barrel away from the action, reducing fouling and wear. The result is an autoloader that cycles a wide range of loads reliably and shoots softer than you'd expect from a 12 gauge.

Engineered for Balance and Pointability

The A5 features a smaller, lighter receiver that reduces overall weight while improving balance. By positioning your front hand closer to the bore line, the gun naturally points faster and more intuitively—a significant advantage in the field or at the range. The humpback receiver profile seamlessly integrates with the flat ventilated rib to extend your sight plane, aiding quick target acquisition.

Performance Features

• Lightweight aluminum alloy receiver for reduced weight without sacrificing strength
• 28" barrel with lightweight profile and flat ventilated rib
• 3.5" chamber for versatility with standard and magnum loads
• Invector-DS choke tube system for pattern optimization
• Vector Pro lengthened forcing cone for improved shot patterns
• Fiber-optic front sight for fast target acquisition
• Inflex Technology recoil pad combined with adjustable composite stock

Stock Adjustability

The composite stock features a vertical grip and is fully adjustable for length of pull, cast, and drop using included spacers (one 1/4" and one 1/2"). Total adjustment range reaches 3/4", ensuring a proper fit for shooters of different builds.

Vintage Tan Camo Finish

This A5 wears a full-coverage Vintage Tan camo pattern that blends naturally in varied hunting environments while maintaining the gun's sleek, purposeful appearance.

Confidence Built In

Browning backs the A5 with a 100,000-round or five-year guarantee. This isn't marketing—it's a statement of confidence in the gun's engineering and reliability.
