Hi Mike and welcome. These are fine to shoot with the chokes removed. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Hi Mike, I would not try it. If you shoot a slug without a choke installed you can ruin the barrel and strip the threads in your barrel.
I would try to find a cylinder or improved cylinder choke tube to shoot slugs. 
Stay safe & have a great day!
