As you know, Belgium Brownings are never really exactly 28", 30", 32". I have a mint A5 3" 1966 Magnum with a 29 1/2" barrel in full. We would call that a 30."
The Japanese A5s have exact measurement barrels. I just checked the spare Jap barrel for my Belgium Light 12 and it is exactly 26" as advertised.
With the A5, there is 3/4 of an inch of the barrel inside the receiver of the 12.
My Light 20 that I call a 28" gun is really 27 1/2."
