What kind of choke does your factory barrel have? I'm assuming it's smooth-bore. If you have an open cylinder or improved cylinder choke, you can shoot rifled slugs without any problem. Some people use screw-in rifled chokes as well.

Ditto to what Aught Six said. Smoothbore barrels can shoot rifled slugs. For shooting sabot's, you need a fully rifled barrel for best results.

use your improved cylinder choke and rifled slugs or buy a new rifled barrel and use saboted ammunition.
