What is the value of an A5 FN special steel full 12 26 barrel adjustable choke?

-- Adjustable Choke -- Unfortunately, the adjustable choke is almost certainly an add-on which greatly hurts any collector value the gun may have had. In typical condition for a pre-war A5, with the added choke, value is around $350-$450. sales@countrygunsmith.net

How much pressure can a 55 gallon steel drum withstand?
Depends on whether the pressure is acting from within or without and at what point failure would be deemed. If distension of the ends of the barrel is tolerable, then depending on the condition of the barrel and thickness (this can vary), pressures of many tens of pounds per square inch can be stored inside - and possibly even a couple of hundred pounds per square inch, though this would certainly be an unsafe pressure for a typical steel drum. BUT IF the pressure is applied from the outside (simply atmospheric would suffice) - effectively pumping down the barrel to produce a vacuum, then you will find that a barrel will collapse into itself some time BEFORE even a soft vacuum is approached. As little as 10psi can wreck the barrel - even less if the barrel has a few "starter dents". You can do this without a vacuum pump with a small fire and a few pints of water. Place the water in the barrel and place the barrel on the fire. Wait until the water is boling vigourously and expelling a large volume of steam. then remove the barrel from the fire (or extinguish fire) and carefully observe the steam coming from the barrel opening. As soon as the steam has almost stopped, add the cap, sealing the barrel. Now, you can either wait for the water to cool and the steam to condense back to water - or you can speed things along a little by throwing cold water onto the barrel. With the steam condensing (which has already displaced most of the air), you start generating a fairly impressive vacuum, the barrel will go from being perfectly formed to crushed (by atmospheric pressure) in one very dramatic movement lasting no more than a couple of hundred milliseconds. Makes a very good visual science experiment when trying to demonstrate just what atmnospheric pressure is - and how much force it can exert.

Flues model made in 1912. It should be able to be shot with light loads only.

The 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 in barrel solid aluminum rib were made from 1973-1977 and the 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 in slabbed barrel with the vented aluminum ribs were made from 1973-1981.

What is a c-lect choke on a mossberg 12gauge?
C-lect choke is an adjustable choke system that Mossberg implemented on their shotguns pre-1977. After 1977 they went to the accu-choke system. The choke is adjustable between Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. It is, however, not recommended for use with steel shot.
What does 'special choke' mean on a Belgian Auto-5 shotgun barrel mean?
Haven't seen that marking. Choke markings on Browning shotguns are coded by a series of asterisks and dashes. They also had a marking called 'ACIER SPECIAL' which simply means special steel, indicating the gun was suitable for smokeless powder.
Can steel shot be used in a Browning A 5 with a 32 Full choke barrel?
Not in Belgium barrels
Can steel shot be used in a Model 12 Winchester serial 1563572 with a modified choke barrel?
Not recommended.
Can you shoot steel shot with a fixed full choke barrel?
NOT RECOMMENDED unless you are in a life or death situation.
How can you tell if Remington 1100 can shoot steel shot?
As long as the barrel was made after 1950 and does NOT have a full choke, you will be able to shoot steel #2 or smaller.
Why not steel shot in Belgium Browning Barrel?
The use of steel shot doesn't directly have anything to do with a "Belgium" made shotgun barrel. The only significance is that the gun/barrel was manufactured in in Belgium. The problem with steel shot can be a problem with any shotgun made before the steel shot came into use. The problem has to do with the choke. The use of lead shot shells didn't pose a problem because lead is soft compared to steel. The choke is a constriction at the end of the barrel that can change the shot pattern of the shot shell pellets. The inside diameter of a typical 12 gauge shotgun is about .726 +or- a few thousandths. The constriction of a full choke is about .030 thousandths tighter with a diameter of about .696 Steel shot doesn't compress the same a lead and as a result can damage an older gun not designed for steel shot. Most older guns can handle steel shot if they have a more open choke for example an Improved Cylinder choke. Another alternative is to use another non-lead alternative ie. bismuth. Even with new guns you shouldn't use Full Choke with steel. Modified Choke will generally produce relatively tight patterns with steel. If the gun has some collector value, don't take a chance. If you are determined to hunt with it and want to shoot steel shot, see a gun barrel specialist like Ballistic Specialties in Batesville Arkansas. They can do anything just about with a shotgun barrel.
What does special steel mean on a browning 2000 barrel?
You will have to ask Browning.
97 20inch barrel pressed on 6 inch choke?
Te pressed on choke is a Weaver brand. The wood and steel a pretty good. I still use it in the fall for Pheasants because it is lite to carry and because of the holes in the side of the choke, has little recoil. The steel butt is still on it.
Can steel shot be used in browning shot guns if you use improved choke?
Yes certainly it can with barrels intended for steel. It is generally not reccomended to shoot steel through Belgian FN guns no matter the choke. If you have a Japanese made gun with the invector choke system it is likely ok, but not certain. Check the year and be certain that the (invector) choke is rated for steel. The best reccomendation is to consult Browning with the year your gun was made (by serial number) and the barrel markings to identify the time period the barrel was made. They are best suited to recommend a safe answer to this question. Auto5man
Regarding the Rossi can steel shot be shot through them?
IF ANY SHOT GUN HAS A MOD CHOKE OR IMPROVED ITS OK, ONLY FULL CHOKE WILL NOT BE SAFE, BULGING IN THE BARREL MAY OCCUR.
