I have seen a few AYA case hardened receiver Matador tens for very reasonable prices since I bought mine a few years ago. I thought I only needed one, but now I'm sorry I haven't bought every one I have seen just to offer to friends. The next one I see, I am going to buy to test my and Terry's idea about shortening them and installing screw chokes. I will shorten and install chokes in my 32" gun whenever I see evidence of damage from steel shot. I have a lifetime supply of 1 3/4 ounce steel loads, see no reason to use expensive no tox as long as I don't shoot at the long birds. When I shorten an AYA, I am thinking about hollowing the stock and trimming the big beavertail to a splinter configuration. At 28" with abbreviated wood, the gun should weigh under nine pounds.
