re: Anything I should check on a old Browning A5 before firing it?

A5 is garbage compared to a Browning Gold. That's the truth. It's comparing a Daisy to a Gamo difference. But OP has it. It's not bad for a shotgun. I just didn't like mine..

I kinda get what you're saying but wouldn't have used the word garbage to describe it. One is recoil operated and was produced for 97 years without any major changes to its design.
The other is gas operated and was made for 14 years. It was a beast of a gun and very dependable.
Both are great firearms but neither are garbage..

Maybe. But I shot the hell out of one in my youth and it was absolutely reliable. And because I was a crummy shot my shoulder took a beating. I just think many people had 2 3/4 chambered for lead shot and that was the demise when we had to go to steel shot. I'm sure the A5 shoots 2 3/4 steel shot fine. They are heavy compared to modern shotguns. don't know anything about a Browning Gold. I moved to Benelli and Beretta.

I'm honestly at a loss for words on this one. One was made for almost 100 years and still gets carried to the woods every duck season. The other was made for less than 15 years and was known for having to be kept very clean to cycle and the 3.5' models were well known for having cycling issues and they swing like a fencepost. However I will add that I absolutely loved the Gold 20's
