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?
Yes
Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled 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 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.
What does the rifled musket do?
It improves that accuracy and distance of the bullet by causing the bullet to spin not tumble like a smooth bore barrel musket.
Did the the Thompson smg have a smooth bore?
The Thompson submachine gun, commonly known as the "Tommy Gun," did not have a smooth bore; it featured a rifled barrel. The rifling was designed to stabilize the bullets in flight, enhancing accuracy and range. While some firearms with smooth bores exist, such as shotguns, the Thompson was specifically engineered for use with .45 ACP cartridges, requiring a rifled barrel for optimal performance.
Can you use rifled slugs in a smooth bore shotgun with a rifled choke?
You can, but I wouldn't advise it.
