525.0. "BROWNING A500 SLUG BARRELS" by DNEAST::SLADE_DICK () Thu Oct 26 1989 14:26

    I BOUGHT A BROWNING A500 AUTO LOADER THIS SPRING WITH THE INTENTION
    OF GETTING THE SLUG BARRELL FOR HUNTING THIS FALL.  I HAVE BEEN
    UNSUCCESSFULL IN LOCATION A DEALER WHO CAN GET ONE ALTHOUGH THEY ARE
    ADVERTISED BY BROWNING.  I EVEN CALLED BROWNING DIRECT.  ALL THEY WOULD
    TELL ME WAS THAT 80 (EIGHTY) WERE SHIP FROM BELGIAM BUT WOULD NOT TELL
    ME WHERE OR WHAT DISTRIBUTOR.  DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH
    THEIR A500 SLUG BARRELS.  WHY ARE THEY NOT AVAIABLE?  WHEN WILL THEY
    BE?
                             THANKS   DICK

    You might want to try some of the Deccie FFL's that are listed
    in LOSER::FIREARMS.  I've found that some of them can be VERY
    helpful.

    You should think about trying one of the Hastings rifled barrels. I
    bought one for my 1100 two years the thing shoots great. It has a real
    nice set of rifle sights on it. They are made in France and are of
    excellent quality. I 'am pretty sure I have seen them for the A500. I 
    bought mine through Gander Mt. and received it in about four day and
    they ship two day air if your in a hurry. I think they are up to $150.
    now.
