I have an FN A-5 (16 ga) that needs both a stock and forend. Will Sweet 16 wood fit, or are they different?
I have been told that wood from the Japanese guns will fit, but not line up wood to metal...
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Going to post this in the shotgun thread as well...

Suggest you try Midwest. They have some old and new parts and offer smithing services on Brownings. You can check your shotgun against the serial number ranges they list for parts to fit. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/browning/gun-parts.html

Very reliable - been in the Browning business for fifty+ years.

I talked to Art...
Unfortunately my gun isn't super rare, so he advised me to be on the lookout for a nice set of take-offs...
Thanks for the replies!
