    Well I finally saved up enough money to buy a new browning A5. Got her home and cleaned it up. Took it out duck hunting and it jammed every time I pulled the trigger. Went home cleaned it again and took it out to "break it in" with dove loads. Shot at least 100 rounds flawlessly. Took it home cleaned it and bought 3 different brands of 3 1/2 duck loads. Winchester, hevi metal and kent. Winchester jammed every time. Kent every other and hevi metal every 2-3 shells jammed!!!! Gonna send it back to browning I guess!? Very disappointing. Right in the middle of duck season and it's brand new!

    Congrats on the new A5 !!

    And you're sure it was made to chamber 3 1/2" shells...

    Were those 100 flawless rounds 3 1/2" shells....?

    Just asking the obvious...

    Says right on the barrel 3 1/2inch. Took me forever to find it with the 3 1/2 inch. It shot the 2 3/4 and 3 inch mags with no problems!
