Is it safe to fire slug out of this barrel?

Jeremy, yes, the "Cylinder Choke" is the recommended choke for Foster type slugs. I highly recommend Brenneke K. O. Slugs if you don't already have slugs : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/718005573/usa+brenneke+ammo+ko+12ga+2+3%2f4in+1oz+slug

Yes Jeremy, this barrel will do a "Bang up" job with slugs! Use the 'rifled' slugs though if you're concerned about better accuracy - and I'm sure you are.

yes slugs are 100% safe in this barrel for best accuracy use rifled slugs not sabot slugs (sabots are made for Rifled barrels)

Jeremy, Yes this 18" barrel will handle all rounds even slugs. I use an 18" barrel specifically for slugs in the woods.

A great home defense upgrade for the Maverick 88.

Bud’s had the best price, plus it was one of the few sites where it was actually available. Typical Mossberg workhorse product. No issues. Turns your basic M500 field gun into a light & handy home defense/tactical gun in seconds.

The barrel fits my Mossberg 500 perfectly. Excellent customer service from Bud's.

Perfect home defense barrel for the Mossberg 500! It's done a great job for me and have not had any issues with it or cleaning it. Shoots true and the only upgrade I did is add a fiberoptic bead for the front sight instead of the standard brass bead. I did dent the end of the gun, but it was my fault since I dropped it and it was not too serious. Shoot a couple rifled slugs out of it and it fixed itself. Would recommend!

Barrel works great! Good option for setting your Mossberge up for home defense.

Buds had it cheaper than anywhere else, fast shipping, and excellent product. It worked exactly as it should as all my Mossberg products and I will continue to use Buds!

Bought this barrel to go on a "truck gun". Fit perfect on my old Mossberg 500, that will now fit under the backseat of my truck. Perfect choice if you have and old bird gun laying around that you want to convert into a self defense weapon.

Fair price and fast shipping from Buds, but the Mossberg barrel was delivered with many finish flaws. There are numerous spots where the matte finish is worn down to the base steel. That's very disappointing on a new barrel. I understand this isn't a top tier product or a top tier price, but Mossberg needs to get control of their production, packaging and logistics chain to keep from delivering new products with the finish worn away.
