Can a Browning A-5 shoot 3-inch mag?

If the barrel says"2 3/4 inch shells", don't shoot 3 inch magnums. You might get away with it for several hundred shells, or you may crack the stock or forearm with the next shell you fire. If you want a magnum, go buy one, and save the Auto 5 for pheasants quail, and rabbits.

Can a Browning A-5 shoot 3-inch shells?

Yes if the A 5 is a Magnum. Magnum versions are able to fire 3 inch cartridges. Browning makes shotguns in both 2 3/4 inch, and 3 inch chamberings, or did the last time I looked at a catalog. Clearly, using 3 inch shells in a gun chambered for the 2 3/4 inch shells is not a good idea. If you must use the 3 inch magnums, get an A5 chambered and built for them. Fabrique Nationale first started making the 12 gauge 3" Magnum A5s in 1958 and stopped in 1976. The 20ga mag was not introduced in the US until 1967. After Feburary 1976 A5 Magnums were made by Browning/Miroku in Japan. This production ended in 1998.

Would Serial number 6z 5116 be a belgium browning light twenty or is it a mag twenty?

This is a lightweight 20ga A5 made in 1966. The barrel should be marked for 2 3/4 shells. ***If the barrel is marked for 3" shells then it is not the original barrel. It is not safe to shoot 3" mag shells with the standard receiver.


Can a Browning A5 SN 224643 shoot a 3 inch round or only a 2.75 inch?

What is marked on the shotgun? Unless it is marked for 3 inch shells, DO NOT attempt to fire them. 3 inch shells WILL chamber in most 2 3/4 chambers, but they are UNSAFE to fire- there must be room for the folded end of the shell to open. Using longer shells causes the shell to open inside of the bore, resulting in much higher and unsafe pressures. The 3 inch magnum shotguns began production in the late 1950s- I believe yours is a much earlier model. You should check with Browning- see link below. Shoot safe.
