∙ 2012-11-16 00:29:08Good Question This is on the older Belgian barrels. "16" stands for the guage which is a 16ga. "65" stands for the length of the chamber. In this case: 65mm = 2 9/16"
It stands for Modified choke.
Your Browning auto-5 shotgun in 16 gauge,which was made in the year 1926 will bring 325 dollars for a plain barrel model,375 dollars for a solid matte rib barrel model,and 465 dollars for a vent rib barrel model.You may subtract 25% for the above stated prices if your Browning shotgun has a 2 9/16 inch chamber.These were made from 1909-1926.In 1927 Browning had there shotguns chambered in 2 3/4 inch chambers only.
Yes it can, however it is not as simple as lengthening the chamber in the barrel. There are in fact 12 different modifications that must be made to the shotgun to have it work properly with the longer shell. Contact the Browning service dept for a quote. Browning is the best source to have this done.
This is a lightweight 20ga A5 made in 1966. The barrel should be marked for 2 3/4 shells. ***If the barrel is marked for 3" shells then it is not the original barrel. It is not safe to shoot 3" mag shells with the standard receiver.
* Full ** Modified *** Improved Stamped on the Barrel.
They used stars to show how the barrel is choked. 1 star is for full, 2 for modified, and so on down through the chokes.

I will first say that your browning sweet sixteen was made in 1949.It was made for browning by fabrique nationale in belguim.There should be scroll writing on the receiver saying sweet sixteen.The chamber is for 2-3/4 in shells.Your shotgun is based on the john m browning auto-5 design.There were 3 different barrel types available from browning.First a plain barrel,then a matte finish on top barrel,and last a vent rib barrel.for a more detailed identification you can probably go to browning,s home page and ask for help from them.
