Looking for Browning A5 barrel

Looking for a 12 gauge mod choke barrel for the older A5 not the current ones made today. Think the gun was a late 80's model

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

I have a mag receiver but it is a 32 inch full choke barrel. looking for a barrel better for steel shot for some duck hunting.

My Belgium made A5 magnum 3 inch sports a 28 inch modified choke barrel , and I shoot steel shot thru it with no problems

Some say I should not do this ,
But I’ve been shooting ducks and geese with this for a long time without any issues
I shoot winchester fast steel
I think it’s 1500 fps # 2’s for geese

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
