Use the link below and go to the Browning friction ring diagram that is noted for the 3" magnum A5.
Do you just meed the friction ring diagram? Use the link below. Be sure to follow the Magnum diagram. The online manual can be found using the the other link below.
The gun is probably set for heavy loads with the friction rings, and the loads are too light. Remove the forend. Inside the wood forearm may be a diagram to show how the bevels and brass friction ring should be set for light vs heavy loads. If no diagram, go to Browning .com and there you can find a diagram, but remember to find the Mag 12, it is different from a standard A-5. When shooting heavy 3" loads, set the rings to heavy. When shooting 2 3/4 lighter loads set for light.
Are you talking 2 3/4" magnum shells, or 3" mag shells? Do not put a 3"chamber barrel on a standard receiver. Do not try to load 3" shells in a Light 12. A browning Light twelve can handle the heaviest 2 3/4" loads available. Remember to set the friction ring assembly for "Heavy Loads".
This is usually due to the friction rings on the magazine tube set for heavy loads. They need to be adjusted for light loads. Unscrew & remove the magazine cap to remove forearm and barrel. The friction ring and bevels will be exposed. Adjust to match the diagram. Here is the Browning link below to show how they should be set depending on light or heavy loads. Recommend you print it out. You can also reduce the diagram and glue it on the inside of the forearm.
AnswerIt's all about squeezing the brass friction ring on just one end or both ends. The ring that is part of the barrel is cone-shaped to always provide one level of squeeze on the brass ring. Always have the brass ring on top of the spring. The other loose ring provides added squeeze for firing heavy loads when you place it so the cone squeezes the other side of the friction ring. When shooting normal loads, flip it over so the cone side is away from the muzzle. Browning glued a diagram inside the forearm on some I have seen. Do not oil the magazine tube, let the friction ring do its job.Answergo to the borwning website for detailed instructions to properly install the rings (it is easy)As always, the best source is the Browning website. Failing that, look at the diagram inside the fore end.Failing that, unload your gun and put it on safe. Then put the butt on the floor and lock the breach back. Push down on the barrel and unscrew the magazine tube end cap. Slowly release pressure on the barrel and carefully remove it. DO NOT release the breach block till the barrel is back in place. Remove the fore end.Now, you ALWAYS want the brass friction ring to have the heavier bevel toward the muzzle. If you are shooting normal loads the order from muzzle to butt should be as follows: brass friction ring with larger bevel toward muzzle, recoil spring, small friction ring with concave side toward butt (flat side against recoil spring).If you are shooting magnum loads it should be as follows: brass friction ring with large bevel towards muzzle, small friction ring with concave side toward brass friction ring (flat edge always against recoil spring), and finally the recoil spring.The only other thing I can say is that sometimes you do need to oil the magazine tube. That comes from the owner's manual. If the gun will not cycle you may have the friction rings set wrong, or the stock may rub against the barrel, or their may be too much friction against the magazine tube even though it is set correctly. Thus cleaning the friction rings, spring, and tube and subsequently oiling it can help it function. Do not oil if it is functioning properly or you may damage the gun, and use an oil that can stand low temperatures. Also keep in mind that oil attracts dirt so you will need to clean it often.

A belted magnum is a large rifle cartridge which incorporates a strong ring of metal around its base for strength.
The front end of the mag. There is a wide (1") brass ring, or sleeve, and a much smaller (3/16") steel ring that is beveled on one side. There should be a diagram on the inside of the fore stock with the ring placement. Use very little - if any - oil on the mag tube where the brass ring slides.
A ring around wires in a wiring diagram typically signifies that the wires are connected electrically. It can indicate a junction point where multiple wires are connected together. This symbol helps to simplify the wiring diagram and show the connection more clearly.
