I saw where Browning released the A-5 in 20 Gauge at Shot show. Should start shipping out to dealers in March. I gotta have this one to match my A-5 Sweet 16.

I have been wanting to get a hold of an old school auto 5 20 forever. I came across a Remington 11 a year or so ago that I should have bought.

I used to pheasant hunt with a guy that carried an old hump back sweet 16. He was a pretty decent shot with it, and always raved about it.

The new gun is not the same as the old Belgian Sweet 16.
You may know that already, but it is not clear from your post.
The new one will not be a "match" in the sense of an identical gas system, parts, etc.
Belgium built A-5 shotguns were recoiled action auto loaders. So if the new A-5 are gas operators they are not even close to the Browning A-5 produced in Belgium and I believe also made in Japan too for a short time too.
