In fact, the iconic humpback-shaped receiver is the only thing this new Browning semi-auto shares with its legendary namesake. The all-new Browning A5 is built to be the most reliable, fastest cycling, best performing and softest shooting recoil-operated (yes, recoil-operated) autoloader on the planet.</span></span><br />\n<br />\n<span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif""><strong>100,000 Round Guarantee</strong>: We are so confident in the A5, we are standing behind it with a 100,000 round or five year guarantee that this shotgun will work, come hell or high water.<br />\n<strong>Humpback Acquisition Advantage:</strong> The familiar humpback receiver profile melds seamlessly with the rib to extend your sight plane, aiding in natural sight alignment for quicker target acquisition.<br />\n<strong>Kinematic Drive: </strong>Kinematic Drive harnesses recoil energy and converts it into the mechanical motion needed to operate the action.<br />\n<strong>Ergo Balanced: </strong>The A5 balances perfectly in the hands for an effortless mount and swing. A trim forearm places your front hand closer to the bore line for superior hand-eye coordination and pointability.<br />\n<strong>Inflex Technology: </strong>The Inflex recoil pad uses directional deflection to send the comb down and away from the face, reducing felt recoil for greater shooting comfort and allowing faster, more accurate follow-up shots. <strong>Speed Load Plus: </strong>Patented feeding system sends the first shell loaded into the magazine directly into the chamber.<br />\n<strong>Turnkey Magazine Plug: </strong>The patented TurnKey Magazine Plug is easily removed in seconds using a standard door or car key.<br />\n<strong>Ergonomic Bolt Latch: </strong>The bolt latch locks the bolt to the rear when the magazine is unloaded and releases a shell from the magazine when the bolt is closed for faster loading. The oversized shape makes the bolt latch easy to locate and operate.<br />\n<strong>Customized Fit: </strong>A5 shotguns include one 1/4 inch and one 1/2 inch stock spacer for length of pull adjustment. Drop and cast can be tuned using the included stock shim kit.<br />\n<strong>Nickel Teflon Coating: </strong>The bolt, bolt slide, shell carrier, bolt release button and cocking handle of the A5 have a nickel Teflon coating for added corrosion protection, lubricity and makes cleaning easier.<br />\n<strong>Steel Shot Performance: </strong>Browning has long been at the forefront of dependable steel shot performance and durability.<br />\n<strong>Total Barrel Dynamics: </strong>The concept of Total Barrel Dynamics covers every aspect of the barrel that contributes to overall shotgun performance.<br />\n<strong>Back-Bored Technology: </strong>Optimal bore diameter specifications maximize shot velocity and shot pattern performance.<br />\n<strong>VectorPro : </strong>Lengthening forcing cones is a popular and expensive aftermarket practice done to increase shot pattern performance, but comes standard on A5 models.</span></span><br><table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td style='text-align:center'><strong>UPC</strong></td><td style='text-align:center'><strong>Part #</strong></td><td style='text-align:center'><strong>Gauge</strong></td><td style='text-align:center'><strong>Chamber Length</strong></td><td style='text-align:center'><strong>Hand</strong></td><td style='text-align:center'><strong>Barrel Length</strong></td><td style='text-align:center'><strong>Finish</strong></td></tr><tr><td>023614072126</td><td>0118002004</td><td>12</td><td>3.5"</td><td>Right</td><td>28 in</td><td>Walnut</td></tr><tr><td>023614072119</td><td>0118002004</td><td>12</td><td>3.5"</td><td>Right</td><td>26 in</td><td>Walnut</td></tr><tr><td>023614072089</td><td>0118002004</td><td>12</td><td>3"</td><td>Right</td><td>26 in</td><td>Walnut</td></tr></tbody></table>\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Fiber Optic Front Sight\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Auto loader shotgun\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Recoil operated kinematic drive\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ergo balanced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Humpback receiver\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Gloss turkish walnut stock\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Chamber Length: 3"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Barrel Length: 28"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Drop at Heel: 2"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Length of Pull: 14 1/4"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Weight: 6 lbs. 13 oz.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Drop at Comb: 1 3/4"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Overall Length: 49 5/8"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Magazine Capacity: 4, 2 3/4" shells\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
