Yes, Hastings makes a Rifled bbl. for the A-5, I picked one up on Ebay for 80bucks a few years ago. You want a newer one, the old ones had terrible sights and you could not change them. Man, does that thing kick with the newer 1oz sabots, much more than my old 870 but it chucks them out there faster. New bbls. are available @ Cabelas for about 300.00 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />.
I went through the slug reloading "bug", by the time I was done buying all the stuff and tying them out, my shoulder hurt and so did my wallet. Once you have your gun sighted in, you only need to shoot a few before the season and then whatever you shoot @ deer, I don't know anyone who enjoys plinking with slugs. I shoot 15 slugs per year and @ $7.00/box, it's not worth reloading for me. Be careful, there is not alot of data for slug reloading and switching components can be dangerous.
