The purpose is to enable a choke tube installer ( Briley) to install choke tubes in shotguns with a very thin diameter at the muzzle. My favorite the SX-1-1 comes readily to mind. The barrel is so thin that after they install thin walls I do not dare let that barrel fall/get knocked around as the choke area without the tube installed for stability could easily be damaged. bent/dinged ETC. To the point that just a fall into another gun might damage it to the point you wouldn't be able to install the choke tube without getting the dent fixed ( i.E opened back up). I have seen many botch jobs over the years by gunsmiths who just assumed that since it was a shotgun you could install choke tubes in it. I know one guy who has a 22 inch trap barrel with a cylinder choke do to a dumb ass smith that kept cutting the barrel off and retrying the same installation! I hate to say it but as much bad press as I have seen about Briley, I would trust no other to a Sx-1 barrel. Jeff
Used Briley to install a set in my '65 Superposed BroadWay. Its been years, and I've enjoyed a tremendous amount of use from this former trap-only gun.
Originally built with IM/F fixed chokes, I had Briley make me a set of five (5) chokes in cyl, skeet (2), IC and M and its made the gun a nice doubles gun for trap, skeet and sporting and on occasion, have used it for doves.
Briley provides a nice choke box and wrench... would have them do another and have recommended them to many with similar results.
especially useful for back-bored guns when bbls. get thin.I once had a set of Krieghoff bbls. bored to .753, and Briley put in thinwalls that worked fine.
