All -
I received an e-mail a response from Briley. At least the Briley organization was forthright and did noy "over-promise".
Please see attached note from Ted at Briley.

We have read and discussed your very well written letter.
These barrels should have gone back to the Manufacturer. This is not an "out of warranty' issue.
Briley and it's gunsmiths pass on this project. You are correct. (given the amount of correction I am worried that the necessary choke geometry for compensation may "push" the physical limits of what can be done without overly thin choke wall thickness in some areas of the chokes)
The deal breaker of course is moving the POI ....16 INCHES.
The other is using the word "guaranteed by Briley".
Although we appreciate you contacting us regarding this project, it is my opinion that we would not be able to undertake this project and satisfy your expectations.
Please feel free to contact us in the future with a more doable project.
Ted
Best Regards,
Don
