Well, now you might just have a good pheasant gun that won't stretch your arms. How much is cut off the bbls. If they were 30" then you may still have some choke left. If they are solid I would just shoot them as they are and keep an eye out for a set of #2 frame 10ga bbls...a bit harder to find than a set of #3 10 ga bbls....You could also try to fit a set of #2 frame 12 gauge bbls to the action and have a two bbl set. That would be a nice two barrel set to have. For upland birds I prefer a 28" bbl gun over a 30" anyway. But then I am only 5' 8" and 30" bbls are dragging in the weeds.
Good luck with the new acquistion and post up some pics. Everybody likes to see a nice grade 3 with nice wood.
