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

[Andy]

I considered doing it with a small 16g VH I have. The gun shoots unregulated, the left barrel center of pattern about 6" to 8" left of center at 25 yards. I called Briley and they said their tubes would not fix this, so it's at Jim Eysters now. But he did tell me that you can pretty much leave them in only occasionally taking them out to clean and make sure nothing gets stuck and corroded. I have a friend with a set in a Model 21 and they always seem to pop out with the ejector or he's always swearing at them, while I hear many have better luck. I may yet take one of my 16's and put 28g tubes in it, but someone told me that is disqualifier for many SxS events. ???

Dave, just give Briley a call and find out from them exactly what to do. It will take less than 5 minutes and you'll know everything including the cost. Call them at 800-331-5718
BTW Briley can fix the point of impact on shotgun barrels.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

They can Larry by doing a concentric screw in choke is what he told me. I figured for less money I'd have Jim Eyster try to fix it. I will only go to screw in chokes if I have no other option, I hate the freaking things.

Dave, both Kolar and Briley want to drill out your forcing cones to install sub gauge tubes. I have always felt that it is a money thing. All you can do is ask if it is mandatory. It didn't used to be mandatory at Briley. Make sure you ask for 3" chambers in your .410 tubes or you will get 2 1/2".
