I doubt that I will ever do it, but I am trying to understand tubing an over under. Meaning full length tubes and not choke tubes or chamber mates, there are two basic ways to go:
1. Tube your twelve gauge with 20, 28, and .401 tubes and use it to shoot all four gauges. If you do, the gun with tubes will be nearly 3/4 of a pound heavier than when shooting 12 gauge and, if you want them to swing the same, you will have to add a barrel weight when shooting 12 gauge, or
2. Get a carrier barrel to be tubed and shoot 12 in the original barrels. If you get a carrier barrel, it can be bored out so as to reduce the weight of the tubed and try to match them, with the added weight of the tubes, to that of the original.
Tell me where I have it wrong, please.
