When selecting a gun component provider the history of the provider should be well vetted. The author has been shooting clays and utilizing tubes since 1979 and can attest that both providers build excellent sub-gauge tube sets and both will stand behind their product to the customer’s satisfaction. Both tubing systems come with seating mallets and require some tapping to seat the tube. The Briley systems require some seating oil. The Kolar tubes do not require any seating oil. Both systems are light, strong and extremely well made.
So, the selection of the provider for your tube set is a matter of personal preference and will provide a set of sub-gauge tubes that should provide a lifetime of shooting backed by the individual warranty of the providers. Trigger Sports/Clay Sports Consultants will be happy to assist with support and warranty service from both providers. Trigger Sports builds special tools that can assist with the seating and removal of the tubes from any shotgun. Please see the Tools section of the site for further information. Normal delivery is approximately four work weeks from the date of order. Guns with inertial trigger systems may need the barrels and receiver sent to the provider for special attention to the 410 sub-gauge tubes. Briley Manufacturing provides a wide range of custom chokes for barrels and sub-gauge tubes. Briley will also swap chokes with credit towards external chokes for the barrels and the tubes. Since Briley services all brands of shotguns, Briley may have the edge in universal customer service for the customer. Trigger Sports/Clay Sports places the majority of sub-gauge orders with Briley Manufacturing. Our consultants will again provide you with the information necessary to make an intelligent choice for your tube provider.
Briley Manufacturing can provide the perfect chokes for 99% of the barrels still operational today. Trigger Sports can recommend the most effective chokes for your shooting discipline and have Briley install them at a discount to you. The extended Titanium Chokes are perfect for skeet, trap, five-stand, and sporting clays. Trigger Sports provides custom lather pouches that have choke holders for easy choke changes in the field or on the range.
Briley makes full length fitted tubes in 12,20,28, and 410 gauges that are specifically mated to the barrels provided. They also make full length tubes that are pre-sized to factory specifications.
