I have a Browning A5 SBS, patterns like a screen door. So I'm thinking of getting the barrel setup for removable choke. Plan to run 00 buck, no slugs.
Which choke system? What gunsmith? Obligatory picture....  Attached File |

I had Mike Orlen over on Shotgun World forum do a couple of barrels for me. The work was fine and the turnaround was very quick, like sent off on Monday back on Friday quick. Don't expect much in the way of communication unless you call him. If you don't need to talk to him, just write down what you need done and send a money order for the amount (listed on the website) with the barrel and you should have if back in a couple of days.

Mike Orlen and Truchokes, I am sure you have the barrel wall thickness to install any type you want, but I have truchokes, done by Mike Orlen on my model 11 riot gun and I really like them.

You can literally get chokes at walmart if you need to, on top of that everyone and their mom makes chokes for it, to include extended, "lateral shot spreaders", and some other more exotic shit |

In 1984 I bought an A-5 with (IIRC) a 28" "long tom" barrel. I had it cut down and an external Poly Choke installed by a local gunsmith. Since then I have used that gun to kill: white tailed deer (slugs and 00 buckshot), squirrel, rabbit, dove, quail, pheasant, turkey, ducks and geese. I love it. I can change the pattern in the field, quickly and without having to keep track of a bunch of choke tubes.

Can you back bore those? If you can, that should help with the patterns as well.
As for who could do the work, I would say Briley, but that's mostly because they're right down the street from my work lol |

YOu should also consider relieving the forcing cone in front of the chamber with a brake cylinder hone. It may improve the groups without need for a choke. I think this is called back-bore.
Vang does this, but I don't know if he works on the Browning |

Before you get it threaded for choke tubes have you tried buckshot with flite control wads?

I am a big upland hunter and not a competitive shooter though so some might not agree. |

The easiest to find, least expensive, and most produced for is going to be the "rem choke" style You can literally get chokes at walmart if you need to, on top of that everyone and their mom makes chokes for it, to include extended, "lateral shot spreaders", and some other more exotic shit And many of Remington's newer shotguns no longer use rem chokes. The have switched over to Pro-Bore. Either one will work fine in the ops case, but I'd lean towards the win-choke system. |

Also OP, check arts gun shop in missouri. He specializes in brownings and does great work. He's restored and worked on several brownings for me over the years.

Id back bore it before i added a removable choke. i dont know how thick the barrel is but i cant imagine there is a whole lot of material to work with on an old a5. Quote HistoryQuoted:

With those measurements your should be able to go with Rem-Chokes, Win-Choke (same as Browning Invector or Mossberg Accu-choke) or Tru-Chokes. Do you already have some choke tubes of any of those types? If not, go with Rem or Win because the tubes are most common and available in many styles (flush, extended, ported, etc) Quote HistoryQuoted:

It also saw duty as my backdoor shotgun in the country, and being able to dial in more choke quickly was the end for several raccoons and woodchucks at 35yds. |
