No, Teague no longer performs or offers this work.
It was successful on the majority of the guns they lined in this manner but by the mere fact that the process necessitated the original barrels to be bored even larger than the nominal .729” or even .750” on earlier guns, the possibility of ruining the original barrels was too great... so great in fact, that a number of customers’ guns were, for all practical purposes, ruined and for Teague financially and the damage to their reputation were both too much to risk doing this work any longer.

Guess I got lucky.

On the barrels that were ruined the wall thickness was too thin to begin with.
The vast majority were successful.

I think Wesley Richards bought Teague and will still do the work.

I had my very rare (2 in the records) AH 16 ga. 0-frame 26" Damascus gun tubed with Briley full-length removable tubes with screw chokes in 28 ga. It is an absolute blast to shoot and bird hunt with, and as Dean points out, kept the gun original as possible. I paid extra for ultralite tubes, which I would not do again, since the weight difference from standard weight tubes was something on the order of 6-8 ounces and is negligible in handling and moving the gun.

No Rich, they bought Teague for the choke tubes they are not relining barrels. It was found that some of the relined barrels the adhesive let go between the barrels and the lining. And it was more then a few.

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I picked up a 12g lifter a few years ago. Fellow asked $250. Stock needed some tweaking, barrels/receiver were fine. Bores were pitted. Found a second set of barrels w/forend that fit right on the frame with very little fitting. Neither barrel set had bores that I would have shot. So, I sent both bbl sets to Briley after speaking with their bbl guy. They made standard weight tubes to stay in the bbls with fixed chokes. I had one set made for 28g and the second for .410. Both were choked LM right and IM left. Gun shoots like a dream!! Nothing like shooting little shells out of a full size gun and I don't have to even worry about changing tube sets as they only fit these bores. They advised to not have them "glued" in place as they would be ruined if I had to have barrel work done in the future. They told me that they will not loosen or move as they are fit "snug"!! For arount $1800 total I now have 2 sub-gauge guns to shoot!! Now I want a 3rd barrel set for a #1 square frame 12g to have 20g tubes installed.

Hmm seeing that I'll probably never have a Parker 20ga hammer gun maybe I should send the 30 inch barrels for my 12 out for 20ga tubes. I had Briley sub gauge tubes for a Beretta when I shot registered skeet. Being able to remove the tubes would be a must however.
