I have an excellent condition Browning A5 that has  slug barrel. I would like to extend the mag tube to accommodate 2 extra rounds. Does anyone make a mag tube that will fit the current thread pattern ? Thank you

Briley makes a nice one.

Do a little googling but I think 1100 or 870 extensions fit. I know there is a common one that does.

You should hop on over to my sbs build thread and just join in the fun and chop it.

870 extension will fit. You may need a spacer. At least my rem model 11 did.

BELGIAN (&Japanese?) made Browning guns DON'T take Remington threaded extensions - ask me how I know?
US made Brownings & US made Rem 11's may take the Rem threaded mag tubes made for the 870/1100

For my A5 extended tube I went with a NORDIC - works like a charm

Remington don't work, tried 3 manufacturers

Nordic works great

I have one that I purchased over 20 years ago. Never had an issue with it.

Mine was made in the 1930's, A Nordic extension fit/works just fine.
