I bought the "new" Uncle Mikes to put on my 686 Black Onyx Sporting Clays gun two years ago so I could take it pheasant hunting in SD. It served the purpose but only marginally. I hope to get the gun "coated" soon and will probably upgrade to the NECG model. I am as tight as they come but I hate junk. I noticed that a barrel band came in the case with the 20 ga Gallery gun I purchased from this site recently. I will have to look at it closer.
