browning a5 magnum
I have an old Belgium made Browning A5 magnum. I know that the Belgium made Brownings stopped in about 75 and the steel shot compatable ones where made in the last years in Japan. It is getting increasingly harder to fins the 3 inch magnum shells for it in lead. Is there anything else that is ok to shoot in this gun such as bismuth. I am down to having to order the shells and it is getting annoying.

I have bought a browning a5 magnum with 32 in barrels and is a belgian gun from the early '60s. The first question is what is the shortest barrel that isn't a slug barrel offered for the magnum reciever and will a jap barrel fit on it. I only paid $300 for the gun so it is no prize but shoots. I am looking at cutting and tubing the barrel but want to know would rather buy one instead. 0 -
I have a 24 inch barrel on my A-5. 0 -
I don't want to go quite that short but, I really don't want to cut this barrel either. The only good news is that my a5 is a shooter and not a collector. I can't get a feel if browning offered a 26 in. barrel in the magnum recievers, that is what I'm after. 0 -
I had two of them and both of mine had the long barrels like yours. Both were Belgians.
Japanese made barrels will interchange. My old man has a Jap slug barrel on his Belgian Light Twelve.0 -
Be careful!! As I recall only magnum barrels fit magnum guns. If I recall correctly you can't put a 2 3/4 barrel onto a Magnum receiver. 0 -
Thanks guys, I wasn't sure if they were interchangable or not. I think that I found a 26in barrel that will work then. 0 -
It will work great, make sure it is a 3" 0
