If the A-5 is Japan-built and Invector or Invector Plus screw choked, Browning literature will suggest the proper size steel for use according to differing situations (ducks over decoys, pass shooting geese, etc.).
I have always been a fan of the A-5 for waterfowl hunting but only owned Belgian guns when the lead ban came into effect; I solved my dilemna by buying a used Japan A-5 3" Magnum with Inventor chokes, which has turned out to be my most dependable and effective gun for most any waterfowling setup, including ducks, geese, and brant shooting.

My typo sorry. Of course I mean "skeet". My A5 is a Belgium gun. I bought it with the screw in choke a few years ago. I'm not sure which company made the choke. It is short, and doesn't include the company name anywhere.
BTW: Does anyone know if the advent of non-toxic shot has actually had a positive effect upon waterfowl numbers? I know it is supposed to, but has it?
