When Briley first started installing their Thinwall choke tubes, they experienced a few problems with them in Superposeds, which was based on barrel thickness at the muzzles and the fact that some older and a few later Supers had barrels with a "flat spot" between them at the muzzles that caused some installations to go awry. I had a 1984 Super they did and it turned out fine, but the tubes were very thin and you had to be careful with them to prevent damage.

After some real f*ck-ups, they soon learned how to judge which ones could be tubed and which ones they would not do. It's my understanding they now have the process down and judge each gun as a "go" or "no-go" and are having no further problems.

That's also how I understand it John.

You addressed the original question better than any of us.

Well said, SGJ. This Deadeye Dick stuff gets to be a little much for all but wide-eyed grandkids. I also hit just fine with full choke when the range is long enuf to get the pattern open and it's a dead straitaway.

Don't put choke tubes into a B 25 that is a big NO NO you totaly destroy the gun and the value. I get them in for sleeving all the time after they have been blown out. I would never buy a B 25 with Teague or Briely tubes fitted.

I think about anyone that has shot clays for a while has considered or bought a Super for the job. Most often it's a Broadway Trap. They're long barreled and cheap in 12g. I went thru that phase and later bought a Beretta 682 Gold E built for the sport. Iwas much happier, albeit a little poorer. I preferred the much quicker handling of the lighter, snappier Beretta to the Browning. In 32"barrels, the 682 handles like my 28" K80 or a short Broadway.

I rarely give chokes a thought and just 'run whacha brung' since I don't compete nor keep score. I also shoot mostly 20g from several different fixed choke sxs guns. Yesterday, I shot my 28g Parker repro with O-too-tight in the right and twice that in the left. I had plenty of fun. Screwing chokes wouldn't have made it more fun. When I had the Beretta and was keeping score/competing, I got to where I just left in a couple light mods (.015) and concentrated on the shot, not messing around with choke tube changes. My scores went up.Pp

I have a 12g Superposed with Briley thin walls by a previous owner. It has been shot a lot. So much the gold plating has been worn of the trigger. That takes more than a few pulls. Still works great.

Do Briley chokes devalue an ordinary 12g Superposed? This is hardly worth contemplating because they are not valuable to begin with. Who cares if they do or don't.
