I have a couple of guns done like that, and if you spend a tad more for titanium tubes, there is very little change in weight. If the chokes are still present in your gun you might even get my rechambering and doing a tube out about 6", and that will have even less effect on the dynamics of the gun. Briley is topnotch at this kind of work. If you decide to sleeve the gun, then I agree that Merrington is the guy.
