Browning A5 magazine plug

[skatemike77]

Hey guys. I lost the magazine plug on my newish browning a5 stalker. These are the alloy receivers not the steel ones. Anyone know where I can pickup a new magazine plug? Cant seem to find a damn thing.

Thanks

Get a wooden dowel and cut it six times to git the correct length.
Don’t be dewn the cut it three times and it’s still too chort.

Lol that wont work my friend. I believe the a5 has a proprietary plug. Its not just a circular tube.

Well get yerself a piece of hard rectangular plastic.

Heck, give Reliable a call as they are the Browning warranty repair facility.

Why wouldn't a piece of wood dowel the correct length placed inside the magazine spring (that pushes on the magazine follower) work? I think there are many thousands of plugs done that way...

Its a proprietary plug boys. Browning is sending me one from the states for free.

Please explain what is so proprietary about it that prevents a wooden dowel from replacing it.

Please provide a photo of this "proprietary" plug when it shows up, I'm very interested in how it differs from the "willow sticks" that I used in my A5 for years.

It's fluted and has an "S" sort of head on it that one turns to lock it in place so it won't fawl owt.
Curious to know how the OP lost his with such a slick method like this?
