You will have to have the barrels checked by a qualified gun smith to determine what choke they really are. These guns were made by Stevens good but heavy bird guns . full and moified choke settings were standard on these guns Most people with double guns use buck shot in the full barrel and slugs in the modified barrel . If your gun is a12 gauge you can quickly determine your choke setting. take a dime if the dime will not pass the muzzle or is very tight it full choke if the dime is loose it is modified .Keep in mind use standard remmington or whinchester rifled slugs some of the higher pwerd slug can damage choked barrels RWS etc and many choked barrels do not shoot slugs very well at all .If you are hunting at ranges under 40 yard s your old gun will be fine
NO you can't shoot slugs from it - why would you want to!
It is not recommended to shoot slugs with a power pack chock on a JC Higgins model.
The "Savage/ Stevens" model 311, 12 gauge uses 2 3/4" shells. Just make sure that you do not use a hard shoot (steel,tungsten, etc.) in it or any of the new high pressure shells in it.
You can, but, it will cause a slight bulge in the barrel.
what do you normally shoot out of it
Only use or shoot cartridges that have the same caliber as the one marked on the barrel of your firearm.
Definately not. I can't think of any offhand that can, but if it is not marked on the barrel then it cannot shoot them.
Although it is a forged barrel it is NOT suited for todays high velocity or magnum loads. I shoot mine with the lowest FPS shells I can find or load.
From what I have been told you can, but the choke cannot be more than modified. Also best to check with a gunsmith depending on the age and condition of the barrel.
Not recommended.
Depends on what the barrel is choked.
Have a gunsmith check the gun before you fire it.
Simply put, no.
