no slugs should on be shot thru a improved cylinder shotgun. if you shoot thru any other choke it can cause the barrel to split
i would say between 500-800 dollars in good condition
Yes; however, the Remington Coppersolid slug is designed for shotguns with fully rifled barrels. A rifled barrel is not standard on the 1300 Defender but is available as a replacement. The Coppersolid slug can be fired from a 1300 with a standard smooth bore barrel, but long range accuracy will suffer.
You can, but manufacturers typically recommend that you do not. Shooting lead pellets will be less damaging and would require alot of shooting to cause any serious damage. Shooting steel or tungsten, however, will cause significant damage in a short amount of time. A smooth barrel will handle pellets, buckshot, sabotted slugs or standard slugs. A rifled barrel should be used for sabots and slugs only.
Slug guns have a fully rifled barrel like a center fire rifle. This helps improve accuracy. A regular shotgun barrel is smooth bore with different choke tubes for a specific desired shot pattern.
Hard to find--but they do exist. The Hastings Paradox (fully rifled, rifle sights) was made for the 870 Special Field. To my knowledge nobody else made one and Hastings is now kaput. Very few were manufactured for the SF. I have one--makes a really handy little deer killer and it shoots the Remington Copper Solids really well. Keep your eyes open on-line. Maybe one will show up for sale. Other option is to have a gunsmith move the magazine ring of a regular 870 barrel.
Let's be logical about this. Is an ammo manufacturer going to make something that is going to make your barrel explode if you forget to put the right choke tube in? Probably not...My dad had a Savage-Stevens single shot 16ga. with a full choke (back in the day when there weren't choke tubes) that he fired "Foster style" slugs through frequently. The barrel never exploded and the gun is still in good condition today.I learned to wing-shoot with it and witnessed deadly accurate slug placement at 50 yards.Let's look at the facts.1. There are different kinds of slugs and different kinds of barrels.2. Don't shoot your shotgun with the choke tube removed, unless you want to risk damaging the threads.3. Slugs are NOT the same diameter as the bore. For "Foster style" slugs, the ones typically called "rifled slugs" like the Remington Sluggers are best fired through an Improved Cylinder choke (slightly smaller that the bore). If you don't believe me...READ THE BOX. "Rifled slugs may be fired through any choke; however, improved cylinder provides best results. These slugs will also perform well in fully rifled barrels and barrels fitted with rifled choke tubes" (Remington Slugger box).4. Sabot slugs are designed to be fired through a rifled slug barrel. They should not be fired through anything else or they may fly like a football thrown without any "spiral". Having that slug just tumbling through the air...not good.5. There are some slugs designed for either rifled or smooth. Rottweil-Brenneke makes such slugs, which I have used personally in both rifled and smooth barrels with success. "The choke does not have a significant effect on the precision of this cartridge; it can therefore be used for all popular shotguns"Note: The makers of some of the early variable chokes (Mossberg's C-Lect-Choke for one) did not reccomend shooting slugs through them- the choke consisted of small steel "fingers" that could be damaged. Modern choke tubes are made differently, and should be fine.
Smoothbore pistols are restricted in US. They are not banned, but they must be registered and a special tax must be paid when buying one. However, there are pistols that will chamber .410 shotshells and .45LC pistol ammo. They typically have at least a short rifled section near the muzzle, or a fully rifled barrel, which allows them to be classified as regular handguns and therefore avoid the extra restrictions. The most notable one is the Judge revolver from Taurus. There are also a few derringer-style pistols from several small manufacturers, like Cobray/Leinad.
The only way to know is to experiment with as many different loads as you can find.

my crf 150 is fully modified up n hits about 110mph
A utility double barrel 12 gauge shotgun that is fully functional will sell for $150 to $250, depending on condition.
IF it is possible, stick with Remington parts.
