From my understanding when they stopped making them in Belgium and started with the Jap models, sales fell off so they went back to making the parts in Belgium then had them shipped to Portugal for final assembly.. due to labor being in expensive..

When did browning stop stamping on the barrel fabric en belgium?

Browning imported guns never did say "fabric en belgium". Those guns that were made by FN were all stamped "made in Belgium" on the barrels, for those guns that were made for Browning. There are Browning patent guns made by FN that were sold outside the US and not imported by Browning that may have said fabric, but not on a Browning Arms Co. gun. Browning stopped production on the A5 in 1976 when production began in Japan. Any gun no matter when it was made in Belgium would be stamped made in belgium. Different models were made at different times and production by FN varied as to when they ceased.

The receiver looked similar to the a-5 model, just not so square. These guns were replaced with the Browning Gold series.
