Not the same, but fun to ponder.

Why is this a silly question? In the UK the proof test has become very strict and therefor many older guns are rejected from proof due to being originally proofed for 2 1/2 inch cartridges only to find the chambers measure some random size somewhere between 2 and 2 1/2 inch. In my experience its quite common to find short or long chambered older guns, to pass a new proof one must have the chambers dropped to within the new tolerances for the new size ranges.

To the question can you have choke tubes put in - yes if there is enough wall thickness for the purpose, some old hammer guns i have seen would lack the required thickness at the muzzle.
