I have a 1929 made 16ga A5, the barrel was made in 1930 and is a serial number mismatch, it says cylinder on the side. I figure back somewhere in time someone wanted the open choke for hunting bunnies and the original barrel became lost. I would like a mod choke barrel for it for trap, it still is chambered for the shorter shell, any thing I need to know to fit up a different barrel? or where I can find one? |

Just have thin wall chokes put in it. It has been messed with, so no collector value, and another barrel serial number wont match anyway. |

Id thread it for tubes too.
However the cylinder barrel are pretty desirable and you could make some decent money off it. Watch eBay modified and full choke barrels are on there regularly |

I have very similar early A5, 25 1/2 Cyl barrel 2 1/2 chamber. Outstanding for skeet, I left the barrel as is and fairly quickly (with a timely lead from Skeettx) obtained a longer 2 1/2 Mod barrel on eBay under $100. But that was a few years back. Everything worked out great.
