Thank you all for your replies... the reason I asked these questions was to see if I should seriously consider the purchase of a gun that has had this done to it but unfortunately was not done very well, but….. if I get it a the right price I will machine out the old sleeves an put in new ones...(this is not for going down to a smaller gauge size it is strictly to restore a desirable piece) the sleeves were fitted poorly to the point where I can see a visible joint/gap ring in the middle of the forcing cones...should the sleeves have been made that long?...maybe they had to go that deep to clean out the problem area...obviously I will have to make them just as long or a bit longer to correct it.
If this were being done by Briley, how deep would they have bored out the chambers?...basically, where would the joint in the bore be?
