You can see the floorplate shrinkage from the recasing, but I've seen FAR worse on a gun Trigg had that he eventually gave away to some deserving friend.
Time for a serious albiet a novice question. I have heard a lot about Briley tubes. How the heck do they work. I asume it is to allow you to shoot a gun with to thin, unsafe Damascus barrels? What secures them in the gun? I would assume you still would want to shoot low pressure shells to keep from pounding the wood.

Somone please educate me.

Thanks!
