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.

Can rifled slugs be shot through a smooth bore barrel?

Can you shoot a sabot slug in a smooth bore shotgun barrel?
Yes.
What are smooth-bores?
Smooth-bore refers to a firearm or cannon which does not have a rifled barrel (a rifled barrel is one with ridges that corkscrew down the barrel to impart a spin to the bullet)
How do you check if a gun is rifled?
You look down the barrel and if it is swirled it is a rifled barrel and if it is not swirled it is a smooth bore
Can magnum slugs be shot out of a smooth bore barrel?
Of coarse that's what slugs do :)
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.
What is a barrel bore?
The bore of a barrel is the inside of it.
Why do we rifle a rifle barrel?
The bore is rifled so as to put a spin on the bullet. This spinning gives a greater accuracy to the bullet, especially over that of a smooth bore.
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.
