It can, but you will probably get better accuracy with improved cylinder bore or cylinder bore using slugs. It depends on the gun.
rifled choke tubes for sabot slugs and cylinder or improved cylinder choke tube for foster type slugs. you can shoot slugs with semi-auto. experiment to find what cycles the best without jamming.
As long as the barrel was made after 1950 and does NOT have a full choke, you will be able to shoot steel #2 or smaller.
Is it a screw in choke?
How short a barrel? Factory choke tubes?
So long as the barrel and action are in good condition, it will fire them safely.The barrel is choked for shot shells, not slugs, so it's not going to be very accurate.
Yes, you can. I have shot countless lead slugs through a full choke, although greater accuracy can be attained by using a modified choke or a non choked barrel.
The short answer is no. I have a Remington Model 1100 Circa ~1963 with a 30" barrel and integral Full choke. This barrel does not accept any additional chokes. You could procure a newer barrel relatively cheaply (roughly $200 new or much less used at a gun show) that will accept screw-in type chokes. Another alternative would be to install an after market screw-in choke system. Not all barrels are candidates, but many are. One such after market installer is "www.choketube.com".
LH Model 1100's have been made. LH Model 1100's have been made. LH Model 1100's have been made.
If the gun is marked 2-3/4 on the barrel, that is the maximum length shell that the gun will shoot.
100-350 or so
"Can a Winchester Model 50 full choke be used with steel shot?" I have a Winchester Model 50, 28in steel barrel, 2 3/4 in chamber and full choke. I also shoot the Remington 1100 with an Improved Cylinder. Generally you do not want to shoot "steel" shot out of a full choke unless the gun was designed for that, which the Model 50 I don't believe was. The reason being, steel does not compress like lead and the uncompressed steel can cause stress on the barrel when the shot tries the cram through the full choke, it causes more restriction and the barrel can crack or even blow apart. I have used 2 3/4in #4 steel shot in my Model 50 and have not seen any streaks on the interior of the barrel, no obstructions and no barrel stress. I have put a lot of shells through it too. I the #4 seems like it has more room to move then a #2 shot so I am sticking with that. My Remington 1100 however is made for steel shot, has an Improved Cylinder and has actually shown signs of barrel obstructions using 2 3/4 #2 steel shot. So the table has totally flipped on me. The full choke is doing great with steel shot and the IC almost blew on me. Maybe the steel grade barrel on my Model 50 is making the difference, I don't know, but it looks great still, looks a lot better than my 1100. I am thinking of selling the 1100 and buying the Nova Pump from Benelli, I hear great things about that gun but have never duck hunted with a pump. I hope this helps a little.
Need to know if it has the box, papers, accessories, gauge, barrel length, choke, condition, finish.
