That’s great news, maybe in a couple more years they’ll have a 24” barrel option.

Cool. Looks a lot like the conversion Cold Iron had done by UDF.

And this
https://www.browning.com/content/browning/en/products/firearms/shotguns/a5/limited-availability/a5-high-grade-hunter-maple-sweet-sixteen.html

But still listed at 5lb12oz so did they come up with a way to make fake maple??

Figures, I just spent $500 plus to get mine stock modified to what’s now available from the factory. But i did get rid of that ultra shiny finish at the same time.

The Sweet Sixteen High Grade with the Lightning stock in higher grade walnut instead of maple would’ve been a beauty!! Maybe that’ll be in next years ShotShow editions. I’m pretty happy with getting a Lightning this year though!

Now my original excuse for not buying one is gone.

My new excuse is if I buy one will the rabid anti gunners that are about to gain control of our government be taking it away from me later this year Question Question Question Question Question

I think a maple one will be in the safe soon. Wife says she has to have one and I agree. I know the maple isn’t everybody’s cup of tea but I think the contrast of the wood and blueing is nice.

Both of us have been trying to find each other one of the model 7 Remington maples in 257 rob for awhile, but this will work for now.

Browning has taken away all my excuses for not getting one. High gloss finish easily rubbed down to eggshell with pumice powder. Toothpaste will bring back the gloss if you change your mind.

I’d really like to see a wicked wings version of the sweet 16. Maybe in 2022.
