Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns FN A5 Parts Question

A friend of mine was gifted a 1929 FN A5 12ga. GR.1,he brought it to me and ask if I could help him find some parts for it.
Its missing the barrel,magazine spring,and the magazine rings,I believe thats all.
Question is will any of the later production Browning or Remington A5 parts fit this gun,Im not even sure what the chamber length is (2 9/16 or 2 3/4).
Any help would be appreciated,I have no experience with these at all.

Thanks.......Greg

I expect the mag spring and rings should be compatible with the later stuff (through 2011, at least). My sister in law has a sweet 16 of similar vintage with a mishmash of parts from over the years, reamed later in it's life for modern shells, etc. Most parts are still compatible.

Anyway, might be worth buying a spring kit from midwest gun works. $95 and all springs are then back to spec. Finding a barrel will probably be the trickiest bit.
