The Modern Legend: Browning A5 Wicked Wing

The Browning A5 Wicked Wing represents the evolution of one of shotgunning's most storied designs. While it carries the name and iconic humpback receiver profile of John M. Browning's original Auto-5, this modern interpretation is built on cutting-edge engineering for today's waterfowler.

Superior Design and Handling

The A5 features a smaller, lighter receiver that reduces overall weight while maintaining exceptional balance. By positioning your front hand closer to the bore line, the gun naturally improves hand-eye coordination and pointability—critical advantages when birds are working.

Kinematic Drive System

At the heart of the A5 lies Browning's Kinematic Drive System, a short recoil-operated action that harnesses recoil energy and converts it into mechanical motion. This approach keeps gases directed out the barrel and away from the action, resulting in cleaner, more reliable operation with softer felt recoil.

Wicked Wing Features

  • Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish on receiver and barrel for corrosion resistance and distinctive appearance
  • Fully chromed bore adds durability and longevity for years of reliable performance
  • Oversize bolt release designed for easy manipulation even with heavy gloves
  • Composite stock with vertical grip texture for secure handling in wet conditions
  • Invector-DS choke tube system for pattern optimization and shot performance
  • Total Barrel Dynamics technology maximizes ballistic efficiency

Built to Last

Browning backs the A5 with a 100,000-round or five-year guarantee. This is a shotgun engineered to perform in harsh conditions and deliver reliability when it matters most.
