Browning Auto 5 rifled barrel?

[quinnbrian]

Hello all,
I have an older model Browning auto 5, (not the new A5) my question is do they , or have they ever made a fully rifled barrel for one. And where can I get one, I know its going to be expensive, but would love to have one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Brian

To my knowledge Browning never manufactured a rifled barrel for the A5. However, I do believe that Hastings manufactures an iron sight, rifled barrel for the A5 as an aftermarket accessory.

Thanks for the quick response , but is there someone (company) that I can buy off of in Canada, or do I have to order it from the USA.

Nope. Why would anyone stock a specialty product designed to work in a shotgun that hasn't seen major production for decades in the tiny market of Canada? You're best bet is to import it from the US or see if you can convince Verney-Carron to sell you one straight from France.

Why not just use quality rifled slugs and leave your barrel as is? You'll be able to buy more rifled slugs than you can shoot for the cost of the barrel you're looking for.
