if it's an option having your existing barrel cut and threaded / ribbed you can keep the original barrel. Art's gun shop in Missouri does this stuff and can get anything you need for it. They refurbish old A5 magnums into composite stalkers and sell them on gunbroker for a premium. That is what I am wanting to do. Make it a stalker. The bbl cut/thread is an option I did not think of. There would be plenty of meat still left in the bbl to thread. I would want to get the cone cut to .840 also. Damn, BPI you might have just cost me a lot of money...................................LOL.

Briley can thread for invector and invector plus….they were in cahoots with browning on development. I’ve got a few stalkers. Had more I should have kept. I’ve never paid more than $600-$700 for one (I quit buying them when they went crazy because all the flat bills suddenly had to have a humpback in the blind)….all invector plus. A Hastings barrel will cost about the same as a browning invector plus barrel. The Hastings is actually a better barrel. If I am going to build a gun, i want the cones knocked out to 840-845 and would prefer invector plus. At my age, if I walk up into a blind with one of these type guns, 95% of guys wolud say "what the hell is that'? LOL.

Keep in mind those old A5 barrels are not chromed lined. Continued hard shot use will score them and could change the choke diameter. Forum link

Anytime you shoot shot harder than your barrel you run the risk of scoring. Not so much steel but the harder Hevi-shot, tungsten, etc. Lots out there on the internet forums about this subject.
