Go to www.midwestgunworks.com in their Browning section you can down load the factory service manual. The manual takes you through complete disassembly and reassembly of the A5.
Shows where to clean/lube the shotgun, just remember the a5 needs regular maintance work tear down and lube every 15 years or so. The gun should last at least 3-4 lifetimes.

It's been about 5yrs since I took mine apart. I don't recall using any pins in relationship to the "hole" in question.
I only disassembled mine once in 40yrs. Mr. Browning didn't seem to want his A-5s taken apart, so I didn't.
