Have a Belgan Browning A5 12g. Current barrel is 2-3/4" full choke. Is it possible to swap with a 3" improved cylinder?

Easier to find a used 3" barrel.
 
My first response was simply "no", and then I knew you would ask why. The barrel hood on the 3" barrel is longer and the 2-3/4 bolt won't mate to it.
The pics were the fastest thing I could find in a quick search.

If the resale value isn't a consequence to you, find a shotgun smith and have the choke bored out to improved modified.
I had several done that way, never looked back.
Best to you.
