Default Mossberg 500 Bantam

I have a Mossberg 500 Bantam 20 Gauge. I was wondering if anybody could help me out. It came with three chokes with it. Do you know if it is able to shoot slugs as is w/ one of the chokes or do I have a to buy a slug barrel by itself. Thanks in advance

Shoot foster/rifiled slugs not sabots. Something like remington sluggers. Use the improved cylinder choke and have at it!

Yup, what he said.

You will probably get the best accuracy with a fully rifled barrel, cantilever scope mount ans sabot slugs. But that amounts to a few hundred bucks.

You can do just fine within 50-75 yds with a smoothbore barrel and foster style (rifled) slugs. You really need to concentrate on a consistent sight picture if you have only a front bead, but it can work.
