No risk if it's a modern gun in good condition with a shell of the proper gauge. I wouldn't try in damascus barrels or guns with a "poly choke".
Either a full choke,or extra full choke shotgun barrel.
Death and distruction. Not a good idea at all....
Please dont shoot slugs through a 32" barrel A5. That is undoubtedly a full choke and shooting slugs through it can damage that barrel, which by itself is worth $300. Slug barrels are typically 24" in length with an Improved Cylinder choke.
A barrel with a full choke.
yes
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIRE BUCKSHOT OUT OF A THREADED BARREL WITHOUT A CHOKE TUBE INSTALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Danger, Danger, Danger
It is possible to fire a shotgun without a choke, but it is highly not reccomended, and they don't cost that much If you select a barrel with no choke (cylinder) it will cause the pattern to be looser than for a barrel of a shotgun that has a tighter choke. The extreme is "full choke" which keeps a tight pattern out to the effective range. Full choke is typically used for waterfowl. A shotgun that is pressed into double duty (shot for small game and slugs for big game) would work well to have modified choke. Slugs have to be designed to fire through a full choke without blowing the barrel but you will certainly shorten the life of the barrel by firing slugs through a choked barrel. If you can afford an extra barrel, then use a cylinder (no choke) for slugs. Remington and other shotgun manufacturers have interchangeable choke tubes (see link) that allow you to screw in the appropriate choke for your quarry.
A full choke is the best for waterfowl.It will keep your pattern tight as long as possible due to the distance involved with shooting ducks and geese in flight.
Yes, you can. I have shot countless lead slugs through a full choke, although greater accuracy can be attained by using a modified choke or a non choked barrel.
If you mean a choke bored barrel, it designates the amount of constriction a shotgun barrel has.
YES as a gun dealer for over 8 years I have been ask this question many times and the improved choke barrel is ok for slugs but never in a modified choke or full choke barrel as the slug in the latter 2 barrels will open the choke over time
At the end of the barrel
