Inquiry: For those of you who are firearm experts, do you know of a 3 " chambered rifled slug barrel with sights made in Belgium for the Browning Auto 5 Magnum 20?

No
But my brother had a smootbore rifle sighted slug barrel for his belgium auto 5 (smooth bore). He hated it with the sights on it because of the barrel recoiling. He went back to the bead barrel. Check Hastings, but I doubt it.

I have the A-5 as well and was not able to find a rifled slug barrel.
Mine is a 1928
I have a 1947 Remmingtom model 11 which is the same as the A-5.
Browning sold it to remmington when he could not keep up production and I was unable to find a rifled barrel for that either.
Let me know if you find them.

Saxman: Those are both 12 gauge are they?
I am supposed to get a rifled Belgium barrel in the auto 5- 20 gauge. It will be chambered for 2 3/4 ".
My Belgium Auto 5 is the Magnum (3") 20 gauge made in 1967. It would be complete to have a Belgium barrel in 3" chamber as well but it doesn't seem that it was made. I am looking forward to trying the 20 with the rifled barrel.
I am not worried as I have shot lots of deer with my 12 gauge Auto 5 chambered for 2 3/4" using a smooth bore barrel with rifle sights.
The shotgun with slug for deer is a killing machine!!!!!!!!
