Need help with an old A5

[bikejunky]

My father gave me a Browning A5 twenty gauge that is missing it's original barrel. The serial number is 70Z51XXX. I have identified it as a 1970s model but can't find any reference to the Z. I am hoping it identifies the actual model. I don't want to purchase the wrong barrel for it.

Thanks for your help.

70Z means Light-20 made in 1970.

RC Model,

Thanks for your help. Quick follow up. This light 20 can only take the 2 3/4 barrel correct.

Thanks again.

Yes.

If it was a 3" Magnum the model letter would be X, not Z.

...one more question

Where is a good place to get original Belgium barrels?

I would like a 26" IC Vent Rib.

Thanks
