I was the US representative for the Teague lining process. The vast majority of the time things worked out fine and the clients were happy. I had one failed attempt during my tenor sending guns over on a Parker that had been struck heavily along the top rib, the client was refunded his payment and the tubes were still suitable for sleeving. My personal feeling is that finances were the real killer. Overhead was huge getting the guns to the UK and back and the market will only bare so much for old guns with bad tubes. The idea has plenty of merit but making a business out it is another matter.
