Browning A-5 16 Bore from 1960s - WILL THESE HAVE A SPEEDLOAD FEATURE?
As said, I am maybe bidding on one, or two, remotely, at auction. They are 1960s guns. Now I know that 1960s 12 bore A5 guns have the speedload feature. But the 16 bore guns I don't know. Indeed some say that no matter when they were made that the 16 bore guns never had a speedload feature. Please let me know...especially if you can post a link or, even have a 1960s 16 bore A5. Many thanks all!

I had an early 80s Sweet Sixteen that had speedload. Not sure if that helps at all. Wish I had it back, but someone stole it out of my truck. Roll Eyes

I don't know if SD members know but, is said, that Josef Broz Tito of Yugoslavia shot his driven pheasants with three Browning A-5 guns and a team of two loaders.

Still my favorite! I have them in 12, 20 and 16 gauge. Some gauges in multiple numbers. I have dozens of shotguns in all makes, models and kinds, so saying that the Auto 5 is my favorite comes from my own personal experience.
