What about 4 bore market guns and punt guns?
By the way the Fox was only $850.00, that would be a hell of a bargain if chokes barrel length don't matter.

Butchered barrels are an entirerly different issue. Although you can do much with them if you understand the dynamics.
In the case of this Fox, you would have to overbore the barrels to establish the request amount of choke, lengthen the forcing cones and match the load and pellet deformity to intended use. You would be surprised as to what you can make the old gun do. It is just not very cost effective to do so.
