Just out of curiosity, I'm wandering what the options are for thin barrels. I know you can sleeve the barrels but what having Briley or Kolar fit a set subguage tubes? Is that an option on vintage gun?
Thanks
Adam

Sure they are a viable option but their additional weight will sure change the dynamic balance of the gun.

I have older guns with Briley tube sets, some weight change but OK, and much better than having a non-functional gun. I have a set of 20 gauge tubes in a Quality 3 1893 L.C. Smith and a set of 28 gauge tubes in a Baker with a blow out in the barrel.   Mike

I have .410 Brileys in a 20 gauge GH Parker and 28 gauge Brileys in a 16 gauge Parker hammer gun. My Lindner 16 gauge hammer gun will be next, because of a hole that goes from one barrel to the other. I don't know how that happened, but the Brileys will fix it. Joe, how scarce is a 16 gauge Lindner hammer gun?

Adam In America we just move on to another shogun. In places where shotguns are common as "hens teeth" sleeving or thin metal liner inside tubes are options.

I believe Joe's answer may indicate that small bore Lindner hammer guns are fairly scarce.
