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 you shoot a rifled slug through a smooth bore barrel with a smooth choke tube on the end?
Rifled slugs are made of soft lead purposely for use in smooth bore shotguns. Actually the "rifling" on the slug deforms to allow the slug to pass through the choke in the bore. If your firearm is of modern manufacture and in good condition it should be safe. Of course it goes without saying that you must use the appropriate type (i.e 2-3/4", 3", etc.) and gauge (410, 20, 12 etc.) of ammunition for which your firearn was designed. If in doubt, have a reputable gunsmith check it out for you.

Some bolt action shotguns had an adjustable choke, and it is generally NOT recommended that slugs be fired through those. If there is no adjustable choke at the muzzle, your shotgun should be fine. Stay with rifled slugs.
