Fix the barrels first....the chokes will be flush. When installed you won't be able to really tell the tubes are in the gun.
I'd spend a little more and go with the Titanium tubes (because of the weight) and I'd also order an extra choke tube wrench.
ps...I was told that the tubes alone will hold the pressure of a shotgun shell.

I see only one problem with patching the barrel and putting Briley tubes in it...somewhere down the road someone might take the Brileys out and fire the gun with high pressure 20 ga. ammo and it could blow up in their face.
I still think the lamp is a better choice and would see more use...the two hammer gun lamps I saw were mounted up right on a wooden plaque, the barrels were chopped about 5 or 6 inches up from the breach and the hidden electrical cord ran through the gun.
The guy had two of them for sale....I wish now I had bought one or both of them.

Yeah, got any pictures, I'm torn with this really am...I've got plenty of new projects..maybe the best thing here is to really put it down to experience and make a lamp.  T

Tony: This might be a dumb idea but have you thought about trying to sleeve that gun yourself? As skilled as you are I bet you could do it yourself and learn new procedure at the same time. Even if you don't do it yourself, it doesn't sound like sleeving would cost much more than a set of Briley tubes??
Socialism is almost the worst.

Yep. I've decided to give it to the proof house tomorrow to see what they come up with. For now it's night night for the gun...but who knows when it returns.
Cheers

Dr. Drew, I have the matching lamp on my desk. Yours is the only other one I've ever seen. Do you happen to have any background info?

Is that a full sized gun? Looks too small.
