markus: what you say is so true.

problem is sleeving jobs usually cost one to two thousand dollars, depending on what level of finish work you are willing to pay for. so, from a cost vs. return stand point, sleeving is
hard to justify for field grade guns.

for 12 ga guns, there is a $600 alternative. briley makes 26" light weigh 20 gauge insert tube sets. after custom fitting, one could then shoot 20 ga field loads in there old 12 bore. whats more, these tube sets have interchangeable choke tubes! it has been my experience that they pattern beautifully in 28" and 30" guns. I have customers who love this option.

markus: just noticed that you are in the uk. what do sleeve jobs cost over there?
