Hello all, I just bought a beautiful 1973 Browning magnum Auto 5. I am looking for another barrel, preferably a 3 inch chamber, to cut down to 18 inches. The factory barrel is 30 inches and is beautiful so I don't want to mess with it.

I just want to have a shorter barrel for playing at the range or pig hunting or something. Anyway if anyone has a 3 inch A5 barrel they're willing to part with let me know. It can be in rough shape, I'm not too picky.

Cheers

Wy not just leave as is? You'd probably find another semi-auto for as much as you'd find another A5 barrel

Well if I find another cheap a5 I'd get it. Just looking for a beater barrel to cut down and play with. I'll keep the factory one the same for duck hunting.

Cheers

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
