No, the recoil springs are not adjustable. You can stretch one out and reinstall it, but it will wear back down again if in fact it is too weak to operate the recoiling barrel. The spring should be replaced.
You need the assistance of a gunsmith
No, never. Browning did not make any recoil pads standard on any A5 except the Mag12. For an extra fee, Browning would install it for you at their shops in the US, but it is not factory and was not imported from Belgium with a pad.
There shouldn't be severe recoil with a Browning A5. Check the friction rings and make sure they are set for the correct loads: Light vs Heavy Loads. If the friction rings are set for light loads, and you are shooting high brass, then it will kick harder than it needs to be.
The "Springfield Automatic Shotgun" is a clone of the Browning A5 produced by Savage/Springfield. The Browning A5 is credited as being the first semi automatic shotgun design ever produced. It is a recoil operated, tube magazine fed gun with a reciprocating barrel. It has a 5 round capacity, one in the chamber and 4 in the magazine. Recoil is managed and harnessed by a system of friction rings and spring that can be set up in different configurations to maximize operation with different powered loads.

They are not gas rings they are friction rings the A5 is a recoil operated shotgun . If you have all the rings in front of the spring it is set for highbrass loads. for light loads set the small ring next to the receiver with spring over it and the rest of the rings over the front of the spring reassemble the gun make the mag nut and forearm are on tight or you will split the forearm.
