Browning A-5 wood

Hello All.

My question concerns the buttstock and foream for a Browning A-5 Sweet Sixteen. I would like to know whether the stock and forearm from any other model/gauge A-5 will fit and function on the Sweet Sixteen, or if the wood is specific to this model alone. I need both and I will advertise in the "wanted" forum once I learn what to ask for.
Thank you!

P.S. I don't have daily Internet access, so it will be a couple of days until I am able to see any reply.

    The stocks are all the same, only a 16 gauge forarm will fit, either a standard 16 gauge or a Sweet 16 forarm will work.
    There where some 3 shot Sweet 16s made, the forarms are stamped specifically "3 shot", these will fit nothing but a 3 shot gun.
    The 12 gauge stocks made from the mid 70s on, and the ones manufactured in Japan will fit, but, the wood tends to be proud, not fitting flush with the actions.
    Hope this helps.
