Browning Sweet Sixteen 16ga VR Made in Belgium
Description: What we have here is an original Belgian Sweet 16. The Auto 5 was the first commercially successful semi-automatic shotgun, designed by the famous John M. Browning in 1898. Originally, he took the design to Winchester, whom he had previously sold his designs to. When they refused his terms, he took the design to Remington, but the then president of Remington passed away, forcing Browning to take the gun to FN in Belgium. Eventually, the Auto 5 was built under license by Remington as the Model 11. Browning considered the Auto 5 his best design, and it was produced continuously for nearly one hundred years. This Browning was produced at an interesting point in time, during which FN’s serial number system was altered. From 1958 till early 1968, Browning Auto-5’s used the last digit of the year, a letter code indicating the model, and the remaining digits in the serial number. For example, 5S47399 would stand for a 1965, Sweet Sixteen (represented by the letter “S”). Unfortunately, the number “8” would be repeated for both 1958 and 1968 causing some confusion, and so in that year, FN began using the last two digits in the year. Late 1968 Auto-5’s, have a “68” in front of the letter. The Sweet 16 is in good condition. The engraving is quite exquisite. The barrel and frame exhibit bluing loss. The wood furniture is dinged in some spots. It obvious that the shotgun has been taken on a bird hunt or two. The bore however is in excellent condition and there a no signs of rust or pitting anywhere on the gun. The wood shows no signs of cracking. The magazine has a plug in the magazine tube for bird hunting, reducing total capacity to 3. Removed, a total of 5 rounds can be loaded. This shotgun can be used for all kinds of sport-shooting or it can be kept in storage for collectability purposes. That choice is entirely up to its future owner. Good, Belgian-made Auto-5s are becoming more expensive all the time. Do not pass up the opportunity to own one of the finest semi-auto shotguns ever made. SOLD Manufacturer: Browning Arms Co.
