Can you shoot a slug in any 12 gage shot gun?
No. It is unsafe to shoot slugs in a shotgun with a full choke. A full choke shotgun may not allow the slug to pass through and could injure the gun and the shooter. Slugs will work fine in ANY shotgun that has a cylinder, improved cylinder, or modified cylinder choke. If you happen to have a shotgun with crew in chokes, it will be easy to switch chokes. Most slugs that people use are the foster- type slugs. These slugs feature a hollow base and are made of softer lead and are found at most stores. They are made by Remington, Winchester, and Federal. These slugs are more forgiving as they can sometimes squeeze through a tighter choke. Slugs like those from Brenneke and Dixie slugs are made of harden lead and are less forgiving. These slugs are safest used in shotguns that have cylinder or improved cylinder chokes.

Is it safe to shoot baker batavia leader 16 Ga with modern ammo?
I have an Ithaca Crass Damascas Grade 2, It is a very nice gun. It's a 12 GA and I bought gaugemate reducer to 20 GA, I then bought black powder shells in 20 GA and have had no problems. I would suggest you do the same. They shoot great. If you want to hunt grouse, I would have the right barrel opened up to IC, or Skeet.

What is value of nikko H3200 shotgun?
300-500 I would say
MIKE GEORGE says: Nikko shotguns were made in Japan, and are no longer in production. The last guns came into the UK during the early 1980s.
The most familiar model was the 5000, which came in field, trap and skeet configurations. As far as I recall, there was no sporter.
The guns were quite well made and handled well, but the fault was, with long use, the ejectors could become splayed outwards to the point they eventually over-rode the cartridge heads.
At best, this gun is going to be around 25 years old, and with a gun no longer in production there is an obvious spares problem. If anything breaks, you would have to be prepared to pay to have a one-off part made. If you are still tempted to buy, I suggest you get it thoroughly checked by a gunsmith before you part with any cash!
Can you own a short barrel shotgun in Washington?
You can own a short barrelled shotgun anywhere. The question is, do you have a license for an AOW (any other weapon) or a Class 3 license. That is the only way to own a short barrelled shotgun. To be termed a short barrelled shotgun, the barrel length has to be less than 18 inches when measured from the chamber (on a closed bolt) to the end of the muzzle.
Washington Will NOT allow a Shot Barreled Shotgun they Are reguired to be Destroyed the gun if a Police agency Takes control on the Gun look up Washington Wacs. Best thing to do is detroy the Short Barrel and look for a Legal Lenght Barrel to replace it. Try a gunbroker or online.
