Can rifled slugs be shot through a smooth bore barrel?
Yes
What is a deer barrel on a shotgun?
In short, it is a barrel designed to fire slugs. Some are smooth bore which are intended to shoot rifled slugs or buckshot, while others are rifled and intended for shooting sabot slugs only. This is a very good and trusted answer. lcj
Will using a rifled choke in a smooth bore barrel with rifled slugs cause any damage?
Needs to be checked out by a good gunsmith
Can you change the barrel of a pellet rifle from a rifled to a smooth barrel?
Yes it could be done, but you would have to locate a smooth bore barrel to change it with. Remember smooth bore barrels are not as accurate as a rifled bore barrel.
What is the difference between a slug barrel and a regular barrel?
In the most general of terms, slug barrels are rifled and regular barrels are smooth bore. Both are capable of shooting slugs.
Will shooting copper slugs in a smooth bore barrel wreck the barrel?
Possibly, a copper slug is made for a barrel that has riflings in it and has a straight bore, so if you try to shoot it out of a smooth bore you could mess up the choke, because the copper is solid where as a rifled slug is made of lead which is softer and is hollow in the back side with a plastic piece as a filler to allow for compression. Also if you did shoot a copper slug though a smooth bore it would not be accurate at all.
Can you use slugs in a smooth bore shotgun that has no choke?
Yes
Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.
Can you shoot a slug out of a regular shotgun?
Yes and no. The yes comes from simple fact, if the projectile can move down the barrel, it can be fired. I've seen .221 Fireballs fired out of a 7TCU barrel. The no is because you cannot do it well. In effect, if you shoot a slug down a smooth bore shotgun barrel, you will have little in the way of accuracy. Slugs should be shot from a slug barrel, and shot from a smooth bore.
Can you shoot slugs with a High Standard Field Classic 12GA with serial number 3115127?
The answer is Yes. You can fire any NON-Rifled slugs out of this gun. I have the same model #3178094 and I have fired many kinds of slugs from this gun. You have whats called a smooth bore shotgun which means you can fire any slugs or projectiles made for smooth bore. when you buy your ammo ask the gun shop to show you what I'm talking about. When you look inside the barrel you see it's smooth. The slugs you buy have a plastic case around them so the lead never really comes in contact with the inside of the barrel. Some shotguns have a rifled barrel which has spiral grooves in it the same as a handgun or rifle barrel. A rifled slug rides in the grooves of the barrel just like the bullet of a handgun or rifle. .I hope this helps you understand a little bit more about this gun.
Will sabot slugs shoot through a smooth bore barrel?
Yes. That's the only type of shotgun you should fire a sabot slug from. Rifled shotguns are intended for rifled slugs only. Actually, the opposite is true. Rifled slugs are preferred for smooth barreled shotguns. The 'rifling' on the slug is actually just fins that permit the slug to squeeze through the choke on the shotgun barrel. Sabot slugs are intended for rifled barrels, as they will give better accuracy. Some sabots may be used in smooth barrels, but you are paying more for sabots and not getting the accuracy you would get by using a sabot in a rifled barrel.
Can Rem 1100 full choke barrel shoot slugs?
It can, but you will probably get better accuracy with improved cylinder bore or cylinder bore using slugs. It depends on the gun.
