Auction mistake, I think?

[Cold Spring]

The barrel is already cut and an alternate is to send it to Briley and have flush/thin wall choke tubes installed. Briley will check the integrity of the barrels before installation. Something like $549. which includes 5 choke tubes of your choice.

I've found that when 30s are cut down to 26 the walls are generally too thin to choke tube the gun. But they could determine that. For the same price one could have a set of Briley tubes installed that will give the option of screw in chokes in 20 gauge, and certainly the gun could then handle not only one ounce loads but even the short magnum 1 1/8 ounce 2 3/4" loads. Then one could also remove the tubes and shoot 12 gauge low pressure stuff. The advantage of the 20 is one could shoot off the shelf ammo in it.

Thank you everyone for the help thus far, I really appreciate it.

I think I am going to contact willbro’s and discuss having them assess the barrels & make a decision from there. I’m 50/50 on keeping the original barrels or getting new ones.
