Briley responded that they DO install choke tubes in Damascus barrels, but did not reply as to whether these are screw-in choke tubes or permanent sleeved tubes.
Thats a typical Briley response these days. Long on their capabilities, short on the details. No way they can install permanent sleeves or choke tubes if the muzzles dont meet a thickness standard. Most Damascus barreled hammerguns have razor thin muzzles...if thats the case, no way they can do either, unless they cut the barrels to a point that has the right amount of material for the machining.
With that said....I ordered a couple of Briley chokes to fit a older beretta recently....they were horribly undersized (length). I cancelled my order with them after two months of back and forth....anyway, I wont buy Briley stuff anymore or have them do barrel work for me either. They definitely arent what they used to be.
