If you have read my posts recently about my Parker Trojan with the holes drilled in the barrels through the bottom rib you will know why I am looking for inserts. I haven't had much luck looking for replacement barrels so I am looking at inserts. I have found a set of brass home-made 16 gauge inserts that used to belong to Russ R. They might work but are very heavy. Does anybody make 16 gauge full length inserts? I checked with Briley and they don't.
Also, who else besides Briley, makes full length inserts?
Thanks.

Try MCA in alaska. He can make them any length. Be warned he's very hard to get hold of. http://www.mcace.com/

Teague in England might be able to help you with a full length permanent liner in your original gauge.

Is your gun a 12 gauge or a 16?

It's going to take one heck of a Trojan to warrant spending $3000 bucks on Teague lining.

The gun is a 12 with 30 inch barrels. The holes were certainly an unexpected finding and I am trying to determine which is the best way to go without spending more money than the gun is worth. At this time the stock and forend are completely refinished and I have rust blued the barrels. I was going to case color the action but I have put this on hold until I decide what to do about the barrels. I have about $1,100 into the gun so far. Briley 20 gauge tubes are about another $500 and case coloring, if I do that would be about $400. So I am already up to $2,000 or slightly more.

I'd cut my losses and get out.

There is nothing to think about. You buy the Briley Ultralites in 20 gauge and certainly don't get involved in the case coloring project. You try to seal up the holes in the barrels if the opportunity presents itself. You try to get a refund from the idiot who drilled the hole in the barrels.

Thanks. I thought Briley made drop in tubes?
