Yes, you deffinately NEED a new gun, I guess you missed the paragraph were it states "for duck and upland hunting only, not intended for use on goose or larger game birds"lol . Seriously though, you and I are in the same boat or blind, so to speak. My Browning A5 is now officialy retired so i'm also looking for a new waterfowl gun. So far the two most likely choices are the MP153 by Baikal and the Mossberg 935. Both shoot up to 3 1/2" shell, which I feel has it's advantages. As you can see I'm staying in the low end of the price ranges, makes no sense to beat up a $1,200 gun in the blinds and pits.
