Back in about 2012 I had Briley make up and fit a pair of tubes for a 12 gauge Joaquín Fernández model "Olivia", produced circa 1912, that had a severely pitted area in one of the bores. Tubes were a set of 20 gauge tubes and a set of .410 tubes. Tubes worked well and solved the problem. I noticed no change in weight or balance with either set of tubes installed. I usually leave the 20 gauge tubes in the barrels. Hope this helps.

I was going to say I would take him more seriously if he learned to spell, but that would be a lie.


I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.

~8 to12 oz. for the Ultralights.

Not awful, but more than I'd want screwing up the balance of the gun.

He knows how to spell, he just does that to try to be cute. What he doesn't realize is that it is a total sign of disrespect for the others here who make an effort to post with correct spelling and grammar. What a loser he is.

PALUNC, you can leave the tubes in for a long time if there is no moisture situation, like shooting in the rain. I always put a skim of oil in the bores before inserting the tubes.

I was considering a tube set for a 2 1/2" chambered Dickson and was told it would have to be opened to 2 3/4". That was a long time ago, so I would ask them.

You can only be be disrespected if you choose to be.

Same with being insulted.

Why anyone would give that power to others baffles me. That's the kind of thing our resident cancer thrives on, and others allow it to yank their chains. Better to troll it right back, which based on the length density of its replies, makes it pucker right up.

Personally, I find it amusing to taunt the spelling and grammar Nazis.

Believe that if you want, but don't preach it as gospel. Our men in uniform that came back upright from Vietnam were disrespected. But, not because they chose to be. Jesus was disrespected when He came as our Messiah, not because He chose to be.

If a person being disrespected can disregard it totally, more power to them. But, that doesn't mean they are not being disrespected by the other party.

I swear, Geoff. Some of the things you have come up with lately have caused me to wonder if you and Ed aren't blood kin.

Stan, there's a very good reason that you have the strange feeling that a lot of TransGomer Joff's behavior reminds you of someone else...

... but it isn't anything from Ed where you've seen this before.

I won't say it right now because I know you are intelligent enough to figure it out. And I know you've also been around here long enough to understand the things that go on behind the scenes here, the actual motivations, and the hidden agendas. If it was really about simple disrespect, personal attacks, or name calling, then it would apply fairly and evenly across the board. Instead, you are smelling a putrid maggot infested Red Herring.

Nothing that hasn't been done before. I'll end for now by giving you one hint. Think about who suddenly disappeared from this Forum just about the same time TransGomer Joff emerged after a long absence. That individual isn't alone and isn't really gone. .

I keep saying it.... you can learn a lot about Double Guns on this Forum.... but you can learn a lot more about people if you pay close attention. I don't say that simply because I need to hear myself.


Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
