I would like a 3 inch mag barrel. I mean it is not one of the new ones as in last 20 years. I bought the gun new in the late 80's |

| The receiver has to be made for a 3"barrel otherwise it will not fit. It will be stamped "Magnum" otherwise is is a standard 2.75" and will only work with 2.75" barrels

| Give me a day or so to figure out what barrels I have left, I thought I had 2 28" mag and 2 30" mag but I can only find 1 28" in which case I would need to retain that one but the 30" is available. I had a total of 7 A5 which all but 2 have been sold so I don't recall what barrels are left
