From Browning's web site: the Browning A5 16 gauge is built on a smaller, lighter receiver for reduced weight and a sleek feel in your hands Receiver Material Aluminum Alloy

Where did you find that affinity 16 ga? Have not found one anywhere. If you are referring to the pic posted by bartman, I'm think that that gun is more like a Franchi Al48 - not an Affintity, maybe not. FWIW, LGS just got a Franchi SLX in 16ga. Nice gun, though I'm not a fan of the 'scalloped' receiver. Light. $1450 price tag. Also, and from my research, I believe the 16ga Franchi SLX is made by F.A.I.R. and is not in fact a 'home grown Franchi'.

I bought a new Stevens 555 in 16 gauge last year for upland hunting, grouse and woodcock. I like it, a lot.

Any updates when the Browning Citori 16’s will be shipped? Latter half of 3rd quarter - in other words, late Aug, early Sep. Browning said 20s, 28s, and 410s would ship 2nd quarter. LGS put one of each of the aforementioned Grade I's on the rack today. Couple of Grade II's too.
