Choke on a slug barrel?
« on: July 01, 2005, 01:45:40 PM »
My slug barrel has a screw in choke on it. What effect does this have on shooting slugs? What choke is best to use? It is an 870 in 12 gauge.

I wouldn't shoot slugs through a screw in choke tighter than Modified. Improved cylinder or Cylinder bore is probably better. I'm assuming this is a smooth bore and your shooting foster type slugs?

I use an improved choke tube in my Mossberg 500 with very good results.

You can pick up a used police barrel on ebay pretty cheap. Just do a search for 870 barrel and you'll be amazed at what's available. The better options is to jjust buy a TRACKER2 or ULTRA SLUG and start shooting some quality modern sabot slugs. I don't use my 870 slug barrels much anymore.
