BROWINING A5 SPECIAL STEEL BARREL

AC57

I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL THINGS AND I DONT WANT TO ASK A REDICULIOUS QUESTION, BUT HERE GOES, I HAVE SOME BROWINING A-5 SHOTGUNS WITH BARRELS THAT SAY SPECIAL STEEL ON THEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT SPECIAL STEEL MEANS. ALL ARE MADE IN BELGIUM. SURELY THEY ARE NOT FOR STEEL SHOT USE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. BILL

"Special steel" does not mean "steel shot". Please contact www.browning.com for more info.

THANK YOU FOR THE REPLY. DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT "SPECIAL STEEL" MEANS?

special steel is kinda like a trademark for browning shotgun barrels. like wingmaster is for remington 870 wingmaster it's just what they call the steel in their barrels.

Wingmaster has absolutely nothing to do with the type or grade of steel in an 870 barrel....

again it seems i made myself look and sound not very smart. i ment browning calls thesteel used for their barrels special steel. remington calls their 870 shotguns wingmasters. not their barrels. i was trying to use that as an example as to a marketing tool. in no way did i say remington used wingmaster to describe the type of steel they use for the barrels.
