A tube change in a monobloc design returns the barrels to their original condition. Sleeving a chopper lump can never do that. Comparing sleeving to rebarreling with monobloc barrels is a logical question, (monobloc barrels are affordable) but one that has been rejected every time I directed it to British gunsmiths. The usual explanation is that monobloc is not compatible with "best" work, but somehow sleeving is. The other excuse is that on the monobloc you can "see the joint", which reminded me of the Morecamb and Wise comedy show, where Morecamb harped on about Wise's hair, insinuating that Wise wore a toupe and he could see the joint.
