Briley Manufacturing-any experience with them?

[bowserb]

Has anyone here first hand experience with Briley Manufacturing? I've seen very few reviews (Google, Yellowpages) and they range over a wide period of time and from excellent to dismal, in terms of customer service, timeliness, and ease of dealing with. I need to get a Cominolli safety and night sights installed on a Glock 19. Cominolli lists only Briley as a Houston "authorized" installer.

If you've had work done by Briley, what is your experience?

Thanks.

The night sights are really a non-issue. I could get them done any number of places. The Cominolli safety is the tricky part, as the installer needs a special cutting jig and tools. That's why I'm focused on Briley, as they are the designated installer in Houston.

I had them cut my O/U shotgun muzzles for screw-in chokes a couple years back. The work was done perfectly and they shipped back my barrels in a better container than I'd sent them - 1 day ahead of schedule.

I have no idea about their pistol skills, sorry.

I have good luck and bad luck with them.

Bad: I would never recommend that someone use their barrel porting services. Had a gun done by them, and the vents are slightly off center. Every shotgun I have had ported since then has gone to MagnaPort.

Good: I have a couple sets of their tubes for my O/U.

Good: had trigger work done: got rid of the inertia trigger safety (so it would work with .410 shells).

Good: had the auto safety removed (because those things annoy me).

Good, had a mercury tube installed in the stock and recoil pad installed.

Good: had choke tubes installed in a CZ O/U.

Good: had a recoil pad installed on a SxS by them.

Bad: recommend to a buddy to have his auto-safety disabled. They disconnected the lever, and left it in the action. I was at the range when the gun locked up due to that. Was also at Briley when he chewed their asses out for it They fixed their mistake right then.

Good: like their choke tubes and selection of shotgunning supplies.

Bad: they are pretty expensive.

Heard from member here of good experience with their pistol work.

Good: for the most part their customer service is pretty good.
