I have a Kolar gun and have shot Kolar tubes for 35 years.
But if I was going to tube a gun today it would have to be Briley’s here is why.
Briley will custom make full length fitted tubes same as Kolar.
It is way easier to play with chokes with the Briley tubes, with Kolar’s the outside diameter of the choke is fit to your bore so if you want different chokes then what came with it you need to send it back to Kolar.
With Briley the chokes are internal threads, you can simply buy what you want and they send it to you. You can even exchange chokes with Briley’s for just shipping.

Usually when ever I've had a gun tubes I had Kolar include skeet and just a hair tighter for each tube .And that's about all a tubed gun of mine will be used for , You are quite correct in your opinion I just prefer to stick with Kolar they were always good to me with any problems that may have arisen . Not to say Briley wouldn't be as well , but for skeet tubes I have a brand loyalty

Let’s see how the covid19 BS and life in general goes . I might try making that trip myself . Like to do it by air but I’m not flying and taking four or five shotguns . I see I don’t need to renew my NSSA membership to compete which is a good thing . Although I’ve still got my card around here somewhere .

[Bill Murphy]

If you are a life member, all you need is your number. Cards are passe in the computer world. If you are a member of NSSA or NSCA, you can shoot in either one or both without "joining" the other. A life member of either organization can shoot either type of shoot forever and never renew anything. In theory, I have an NSSA number and a NSCA number, but either one will get me into a shoot.

[Joe Graziano]

I’m a NSCA-NSSA member, but for the vintage shoot, it’s not needed. It’s open to the public.

[Bill Murphy]

Good point. I remember that from earlier NSSA vintage shoots.

But if you give them your number regardless of whether you're a life member or not targest shot at this event go in your lifetime total if things like that matter to a person .

I've got a friend Fairfax R&G that is the all time target leader but he shoots about 12,000 registered birds a year on a slow year he's also 80+ and been doing this most likely 60+ years .

I've always like this pic from the 1955 Larry Koller's Book of Guns. A couple of proper gents at Station 2 with their Model 21s --
