Why can you only load 3 shells into the mag and 1 in the chamber of your Browning A5 12 gauge?

It depends. Has the magazine plug been removed? Remove the forearm and the barrel. The magazine may have a wood or plastic plug in it. If the plug has not been cut, then only two standard size shells should fit, along with one in the chamber; This would limit the gun to only three shots as allowed for waterfowl hunting. With the plug removed, the gun should handle four shells in the magazine and one in the chamber. Magnum model receivers have extra room if using only 2/3/4 shells. If the magazine tube has no plug and you can load only three shells, check the spring and possibly replace if needed. There is one other possibility and that is if you have a three shot model made prior to the 1950's. Only the original forearm will indicate this, in which you should only be able to load two in the magazine and possibly have a bad spring as well.

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".

What does the switch on the side of a browning a500r do?
This switch operates the Magazine cutoff. The cutoff enables the gun to open the chamber and remove the shell to insert a different shell into the chamber, but it is done while the magazine remains loaded. This way, the chamber can be emptied and the extra shells in the magazine will not automatically load. Recommend you use the link below to the Owners Manual for the A500 model. The Magazine Cutoff operations are shown on pages 29 and 30.
How do you load a mossberg 500 l?
Rack the slide to the rear, and visually inspect the chamber to ensure it's clear. Close the slide, ensure that the safety is engaged. On the bottom of the receiver, there is an opening cut out for the loading of your shotgun shells. Load your shotgun shells into the tubular magazine (located under the barrel) via this opening, with the crimped end (the end without any brass) towards the front. When you've loaded as many rounds as you can load, you can rack the slide one time to chamber the first cartridge, and then load one more into the magazine, if you so wish.
