Has anyone have any experience with Briley fitted tube sets in a antique or vintage SxS? It would seem to be a viable way to get a gun back into service that is currently unshootable (heavily pitted). Back in about 2012 I had Briley make up and fit a pair of tubes for a 12 gauge Joaquín Fernández model "Olivia", produced circa 1912, that had a severely pitted area in one of the bores. Tubes were a set of 20 gauge tubes and a set of .410 tubes. Tubes worked well and solved the problem. I noticed no change in weight or balance with either set of tubes installed. I usually leave the 20 gauge tubes in the barrels. Hope this helps.

problem is, full length tubes in both barrels add about a pound of weight to the gon... The sage of the age has spoken. I was going to say I would take him more seriously if he learned to spell, but that would be a lie.
I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.

What he doesn't realize is that it is a total sign of disrespect for the others here who make an effort to post with correct spelling and grammar. What a loser he is.

PALUNC, you can leave the tubes in for a long time if there is no moisture situation, like shooting in the rain. I always put a skim of oil in the bores before inserting the tubes.

I was considering a tube set for a 2 1/2" chambered Dickson and was told it would have to be opened to 2 3/4". That was a long time ago, so I would ask them.

You can only be be disrespected if you choose to be. Same with being insulted. Why anyone would give that power to others baffles me. That's the kind of thing our resident cancer thrives on, and others allow it to yank their chains. Better to troll it right back, which based on the length density of its replies, makes it pucker right up. Personally, I find it amusing to taunt the spelling and grammar Nazis.

You can only be be disrespected if you choose to be. Believe that if you want, but don't preach it as gospel. Our men in uniform that came back upright from Vietnam were disrespected. But, not because they chose to be. Jesus was disrespected when He came as our Messiah, not because He chose to be. If a person being disrespected can disregard it totally, more power to them. But, that doesn't mean they are not being disrespected by the other party. I swear, Geoff. Some of the things you have come up with lately have caused me to wonder if you and Ed aren't blood kin.

I do believe it, but didn't preach it. The examples you gave are a wee bit more extreme than choosing to be offended over how someone chooses to write. I don't, and have not for a long time, give a rat's red but if some idjit is disrespecting me. That's their issue, not mine...though it is fun to mirror their crap back at them and wants them lose their minds. See our board malignancy for a perfect example. I swear, Stanton, your weak attempt to disrespect me in your last sentence made me laugh...
