Browning has introduced the A5 shotgun with a 3 1/2" chamber. This is the first ever recoil-operated 3 1/2-inch shotgun for Browning. Five A5 models are to be chambered in the 3 1/2 inch, 12 gauge: A5 in Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades, A5 in Realtree Max-4, A5 in Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity, A5 Stalker and A5 Hunter.

The A5s recoil-operated Kinematic Drive system provides the ability to cycle many different loads. This shotgun features a Vector-Pro lengthened forcing cone and the new Invector-DS choke tube system. An Inflex II recoil pad also comes with the A5, and barrel lengths of 26, 28 and 30 inches are available. Dura-Touch Armor Coating is featured on the composite-stock models, for better purchase on the gun. The A5 Hunter features a gloss-finish walnut stock.
