Hey folks, I have a few questions about this old gun. My grandfather passed away before I was born but when I came of age my father gave me this gun that belonged to his father. I have had it know for about 20 years and only shot it a few times. It is a Browning A-5 Light 12ga. 2 3/4". The barrel has a Cutts Compensator Choke system on it. I looked on the Browning web site for serial number info. This is what I found.
1949 270001-285000
The number on the bottom of my receiver has only 5 digits and starts with 7. Is this right? Is my gun a 1949 production?
I would like some advise as far as getting a different barrel for this gun because it does not pattern very well with the current setup. Can I get a barrel that fits this gun with the "Invector Plus" screw in chokes? I would like to use it for clays, dove, and maybe waterfowl.
Any advise on this model gun will help. And what is the "LIGHT" stand for, this gun weighs 8.4#
