In answer to points put . One gun was scrapped the other had new tubes fitted , The finished job was not 100% but it did not look to bad.
I made the point about multi chokes , referring mainly to guns that have had them installed after manufacture .As a counterpoint to the accusation that sleeving lowers the value of a gun ,It is my opinion that fitting multi choke alao lowers the value of a gun and that I have seen a number of barrels that have failed/bulged as result. You sleeve a gun when the barrel has either been damaged or it has passed a point of safety. With multi chokes you take a good barrel and effectively destroy its originality.
It is indeed a topic for another thread
