Browning Auto 5 barrels?

[acapa]

Where could I find a modified and improved cylinder? Are all the auto 5 barrels compatible or year mfg make a difference.

Thanks

I believe all A-5 barrels are compatible within models. I.e. Light 12 barrels are all the same, but Magnum and Light 12s (and other 2-3/4" chambered A-5s) are not. Years ago I got a Hastings choke tube barrel for mine, they still list them on their website:

Also do a Google search, there are some businesses that sell used shotgun barrels.

Corson's barrels........They are pretty interchangeable. Even between Belgian and Japanese barrels

You might also go to Briley or Carlson and see if they will machine your barrel to accept chokes.

That would be ideal, would that not let me use steel shot if I had the right choke?

They are in so-cal. I have used them for a browning gold barrel work. Great quality and can do whatever you want.

Yes. Take the forestock off and adjust the recoil spring for more tension to use the heavy loads. It's easily adjustable.
