2 holer, my Matador was choked more than .040 but never showed any damage from shooting steel. What's the worst that could happen, ring at the muzzle, cut it to 29" and install Briley chokes. It was a wonderful gun, fitted well, hard butt, double triggers. If I saw another one today, I'd buy it in a minute. Once, I was invited by a friend to shoot a MD pond with some of his friends that I had never met. Someone shot at a goose on our side of the pond and it limped away. I fired at the goose when he had reached the opposite shore. It fell dead as a stone at about 90 yards on hard ground. The fellow who originally shot the goose wouldn't let me walk around the pond to retrieve the bird. He insisted on making the long trek himself.
