Mike Orlen's prices far exceed Briley's.

What Briley's advantage is, they match the tube diameters to the barrel ID. I have an acquaintance that had them tube a 1948 Ithaca 37 16ga, which has a reasonably thin barrel.

Briley did a wonderful job on his and provided the size dimensions to ask for when he needed to get a different tube (other than the 3 provided).

The tubes Mike O. taps the barrel for are the ones as sold by Colonial. The advantage there is cost of course. Lead rated ones are a few over $20.00 ea and non-toxic, extended chokes are a few more.

My 16ga Ithacas that have factory threaded barrels (King Ferry era) use tubes from Colonial and I am more than satisfied with them.
