BROWNING A5

LEVERMAN0411
A friend of mine has a 1972 Browning A5 12 gauge with a vented rib, he says it was made in Belgium. It is new in the box has never been shot and assembled only twice. He is the original owner and has kept it in storage disassembled ever since he got it.What would it be worth? Thanks!

    I have a Belgium made A5 light weight made in 1968. If I wanted to get another Belgium barrel for it would it have to be off a light weight gun or will any barrel of that age fit? It is a 12 ga. Also can I put a 20 ga. barrel on it? What is the shortest barrel with poly choke they made? What is the barrel marking on a gun that is factory poly choke? *,**,***,****
    Thanks for any and all help with these questions?

    The asterisk was Browning's code for full choke.

    Sorry but I don't know what an anarchy A looks like. Would it be in a dictionary? I found a Browning auto 5 pictured with a factory polychoke in the 1942 Shooter's Bible. I could find nothing that suggested how to identify if the polychoke was from the factory. I would think that lack of any choke code on the barrel would suggest it came with the polychoke.
