I have some questions about using Briley subgauge tubes in a 12 ga. Parker

I do not differentiate between the two when it comes to cleaning and or removing insert tubes . The biggest problem I ever heard of were some skeet shooters that had ported the barrels as well as the 20 and 28 gauge tubes . They would be a bitch to get out , but I never saw the need for ported 20 or 28 tubes in typically a 9 pound tubed skeet gun .

Phil, there are lots of alternatives. As they say, "life's too short to shoot an ugly gun".

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder, Larry. I personally find what some people think is ugly about my little Stevens endearing, but I know lots of people don't, so I included it in my post. I like it just fine. And let's be honest: bet those Smiths and whatever the other ones are cost a lot more than the $350 I paid for my Stevens ;-).
