1952 fn Belgium Browning 16 gauge shotgun
#2

I'm not sure the gun will shoot 2.5s but I've never tried them in my old Belgian 16, just regular 2.75" dove and heavier loads. Here's a diagram showing the basic setup of the friction ring and where it should be based on the load you're trying to get it to eject. I STILL think the A5 is THE greatest autoloading scattergun in history!
For sure my eternal fav!

If it was made in 1952, it should be made for the 2 3/4 " (70mm) shells. Before 1947, the 16 gauge Auto 5 used the 2 9/16 " (65mm) shells. If I remember correctly...lol.
As others have said, may just be the way your friction rings are set up.
