"Choke" refers to the amount that the barrel is constricted at the muzzle (located at the end of the shotgun barrel). The more constricted the bore opening is, the narrower and denser the pattern of shot which can be thrown. Several degrees of choke are commonly available, including full, improved-modified, modified, improved-cylinder and cylinder bore. Full choke barrels are made for long range shooting because they make the shot pattern denser at greater distances. Improved modified chokes fall between the full choke and the modified choke and are sometimes used in trapshooting. Modified chokes are midway between the full choke and the improved cylinder choke. Improved cylinder and cylinder bore or skeet chokes have little constriction and give the greatest spread (most open pattern) when shot is fired at close range.
A slug may be fired through a choke so long as the slug can fit. If the choke is to small at best the choke threads will strip and at worst the barrel will split down the middle killing or maiming you. When in doubt ask the dealer.

∙ 14y agoYes, you can fire buckshot and slugs through an improved cylinder choke. Shotgun slugs and pumpkin balls are hollow. They squeeze when fired through the choke. The rifling is on the slug instead of the barrel as in a rifle.

You will also find that slugs are smaller than the gauge- a 12 g. slug is actually about 13 g. If you cut open a slug shell, and drop the slug into a barrel, it will drop all the way through. A possible exception is the EXTRA Full Choke used on some turkey shoot guns- and that is not a standard choke.

∙ 14y agoYes, you can shoot rifled slugs out of a smooth-bore barrel with any choke. Pattern with different manufacturer's slugs, and at different distances to see which works best. Different guns like different ammo so see what yours likes. If it is a smooth-bore, do not use sabots.

Will a Steven's over under shotgun fire a slug with an improved cylinder choke tube?
no! dont try it my friend! improved cylinder is an actual choke, meaning it constricts the barrel, if you fire a slug through one it will probably blow the end of your gun barrel off. you would need a cylinder aka factory cylinder choke, which is no constriction at all
