I am wanting to find a Japanese made barrel with choke tubes for one of my old 2 3/4 inch brownings. Anyone got any leads or know how I could find one

Corson barrels, barrel exchange, gunbroker, ebay

Another option is to have Briley install their thin-wall choke tubes.

As long as the Sportsman has a mod or more open choke & use #3 or smaller you should be good. I shoot #2's out of some older belgium 12 ga.

Nice info!!

If you are wanting to shoot steel shot you will need to find the Japanese barrel as the Belgium steel won't hold up (from my understanding). If you just want to adjustable chokes then Briley's is an option.

If you end up modifying the Browning barrel, have them check the chamber for a true 2 3/4.
