Browning Sweet 16
Considering buying extremely clean A-5. Near perfect stocks no cracks and no modifications from original. 28"(?)bbl with cross-hatched sight plane (no rib), modified choke, extremely fine blue and shiny bright inside. Gold(?) trigger has a little spotting. Has little (3"X5")instruction booklet. Comes with several boxes of Federal Monarch paper shells of varying shot and old Outers cleaning kit. Seller asking $750.00 but I would appreciate your thoughts as to value. I'm unable to determine year of manufacture at the Browning website...s/n is S14671. Thanks. Best, Jim (timbroman@aol.com)

Trying to get an idea as to what a Belgium Browning Sweet 16, Serial# X44470, might be worth. I believe it was made in 1951, plain barrel and in very good to excellent condition. I have a chance to buy it and neither the seller or I really know what the value is. Thanks. 0 -
The letters "S,R, and A" stand for the model. Standard 16 gauges had an "R" prefix, sweet 16's used an "S"....from what I can find it falls into the units that came to the US in 1954....these numbers were S2501 thru S24000. They came with a plain, soid matte rib, and vent rib barrels. Price is probably about right. 0 -
Rembrandt, Thanks a lot for the information. I believe I'm sold on it.
