My 16ga. 2-9/16 A5 Belgium Browning is 100 years old this month. Besides the cool factor for what it is, it's an all original, numbers matching, 2-9/16 16 ga. The really cool thing is that John Moses Browning was in Belgium, test firing every shotgun that came off the assembly line until his death later in 1925. So,,,my original A5 was test fired by Browning himself! I have fired it a few times with some cut down 2-3/4 poofy loads. It shoots perfectly!IMG_20250412_080000386~2.jpgIMG_20250412_080218997_HDR.jpg
 
Neat story! I have Belgian A5 I acquired from my father. I only shoot it during dove season but I love that shotgun. They are beautiful!
