John Browning A-5 Sweet Sixteen
The Upland Almanac
|Summer 2017
One of the greatest and most prolific gun designers ever was John Moses Browning (Jan.23, 1855 – Nov. 26, 1926), born in Ogden, Utah. John Browning has been credited with 128 patents in military and civilian firearms of all styles, mechanisms and models.
A name branded in the firearms world, Browning created water-cooled and air-cooled machine guns, the famous M1911 handgun, automatic rifles, bolt-action rifles, auto-loading rifles and shotguns, over-under and side-by-side double-barreled shotguns and a whole product line of different caliber handguns. It is pretty hard for anyone who is engaged in the use of firearms not to run into Browning’s name.
