  • Can the 28inch barrel fire slugs? Sorry kind of new to the shotgun world so I'm a little confused about the difference between the barrels other than length of course.

  • You can definitely shoot slugs out of that barrel. I recommend it because it is fun. Thanks.

  • Jonathan - Yes, indeed, you can fire slugs in this shotgun. If you're looking for a bit more accuracy, you might consider a rifled coke tube made specifically for slugs - especially if you are going to sue the gun for deer hunting, etc. The rifled choke tube is available for a fraction of the cost of a rifled barrel, and in my experience, after a bit of ammo experimentation, can provide some very good groups out to 100 yard or even a bit more. Here's an article that goes into it a bit. guns.com/news/2017/03/12/do-rifled-choke-tubes-improve-slug-accuracy

  • Jonathan, yes Sir you can. Just do not use the Full Chock and you will be fine with Slugs. I highly recommend Foster Type Slugs : budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/718005573/brenneke+ammo+ko+usbsl122ko+12+gauge+2-3%2f4%5c%22+1oz+slug

  • Jonathan, The barrels can shoot any 12ga ammunition out of 12 ga barrel depending on use or non use of chokes. A non restrictive choke (cylinder choke) will handle any slugs you want to fire with longer barrel and no choke on shorter barrel.

  • Using the Improved Cylinder choke in the 28" barrel should do well with slugs, the Full or Modified chokes would be bad news with slugs. The shorter barrel is just cylinder bore with no chokes at all and the only other real differences besides the length is the long barrel has a vent rib.
