Briley tubes and storage

[Alfred Houde]

Personally, I would never store a shotgun threaded for choke tubes without them installed. There is too much risk of accidently firing the gun without them.

I wipe the others down at the end of the season and keep them in a small, clear plastic tackle box.

My guns that have full length tubes are stored with the tubes in place. My tubes are made to fit specific bbl sets so there is no need to remove them. They are fit very snug and are not made to take out and put back in often. Only reason they can be removed is in case some bbl work needs to be done, then the tubes must come out. My tubes are all fixed chokes too, no need to be changing choke tubes as choke is irrelevant. The choke does not break the bird, the shooter breaks the bird. Put the muzzles at the right place and you'll break the target. Too many "shooters" worry about what choke they put in the gun instead of learning how to shoot and getting the mental game squared away.
