Yes
Check the receiver and barrel
They used stars to show how the barrel is choked. 1 star is for full, 2 for modified, and so on down through the chokes.
Open action remove pin remove slide,barrel,spring.
If you see spiral grooves when looking down the barrel, then it is rifled.
Be sure the gun is unloaded. Stand the gun on the floor with buttstock down. Push down on the barrel into the receiver a short ways. While barrel is pushed down, unscrew the magazine cap up and off. Pull the forend up and off while gently relasing pressure on the barrel. Now pull the barrel up and out and clean that puppy! auto5man Go to http://www.krausebooks.com/category/firearms_knives and buy the Gun Digest Assembly/Disassembly book for shotguns.

No. Not recommended. The barrel walls are not fit for screw in chokes. Belgian A-5 barrels that had that procedure done in the 60's and 70's were mostly unsuccesful. The barrels ended up being cut down or discarded. Aftermarket screw in chokes worked well with the Over/Under Browning guns, but not the Automatics. It's recommended to purchase a Japanese made barrel (with invector chokes) and have it fitted to your Belgian gun.
Yes , it will work. The Japsnese barrel may be a micro too thick when you lie it into the forarm; so sand down the wood on the forarm a bit to make it lie properly to attach.
Somewhere Down the Barrel was created in 2004.
The Browning 22 auto was traditionally scoped with an integral scope mount base that was mounted to the barrel. The mount rides up above the receiver and rearward toward the ejection port. Grade I is supposed to also have the groove mounts. The groove mount is not recommended because if the gun is taken down, the scope would be off zero when the gun was reassembled. Browning offers the integral barrel mount base and rings for this application. The Browning part number is 8517, however, your older Belgian model may not be tapped for the screws and may require a gunsmith to tap and thread the barrel. This was confirmed in the 1964 Browning catalog. Recommend you discuss this with the Browning Customer service dept at the link below to verify. No other cross references could be found for mounts that fit the Browning 22 automatic rifle.
