Teague does what I would call relining, rather than sleeving. Sleeving, to me, is cutting off the barrels in front of the chambers and inserting new barrel tubes into the "monobloc" that's left. The top and bottom ribs are then re'attached to the new assembly. This is cheaper than making new barrels from scratch because you save the locking lugs, hinge, etc. What teague does is bore the inside from end to end and insert a thin liner inside. The outside of the barrels are preserved as original.
