Seeing all of the discussion about sleeving made me wonder. I hate to be a rube, but wanted to get opinions before I did anything else that is frowned upon in the community. I like shooting vintage doubles because of the craftsmanship, look and feel, all of the handwork and skill involved takes me back to a bygone era.

I do not have the coffers to spend the big bucks on "best doubles" and see many beautiful guns with damascus barrels that seems to excellent buys for the money.

My question is two fold. First, can you install a set of Briley 20ga tubes into a damascus barrel. And two, is that looked upon as sacrilege?

I know that there a lot of variables here and that opinions are like birthdays, everyone has one, but I appreciate the opinions of the forum.
