My shotgun is a nef singleshot shotgun..on the barrel it says..pardner 12 ga.3'' mod. can i shoot slugs

Question

it says 3'' mod. so does this shotgun have a choke?? can i shoot slugs?? and if so what kind of slugs can i shoot??

Answer 1

YES, but only if the choke on the shotgun is a cylinder or improved cylinder choke only, because manufacturers recommend you shoot rifled slugs in a smooth bore shotgun, for accuracy and so you don't damage the barrel. I prefer the Remington Sluggers Brand rifled slugs myself.*

Answer 2

The guy above me got the slug part. As for the choke, it has a fixed Modified choke which is your middle of the road pattern choke.

And just as a warning, no 3 1/2" shells. They are pretty uncommon, but be careful.

Answer 3

Yes you could

I dont know if you have a rifled barrel or not...... lightfield slugs are the best out there, I use then in my 870 Rem w/ a Tarhunt barrel and i've never had a problem with it  

Answer 4

That gun has a fixed 'modified' choke.

Look into sabot type slugs.

Some are approved for use with a choke.

Answer 5

Yes. Use standard Foster type (usually rifled) slugs, not premium slugs. Basically, the cheapest slugs. They are designed for use in smoothbores, although they are more accurate in a rifled barrel. Premium slugs are generally designed only for rifled barrels.

A smoothbore firing standard slugs should be accurate enough for deer hunting to about 75 yards.

Standard Foster slugs can also be fired through a full (but not extra full or turkey full) choke, because they are undersized to allow this.

From Wikipedia: "Most shotgun slugs are designed to be fired through a smoothbore barrel, which means that they must be self-stabilizing and capable of passing through a choked barrel. Much later shotguns were produced with rifled barrels, and slugs were designed to be fired from them with spin stabilization. As these specialized "shotguns" were far more accurate than a smoothbore gun, they also usually featured greatly improved sights. Many of these slugs use saboted sub-caliber projectiles, resulting in greatly improved external ballistics performance."

You have a Modified choke, which is the second tightest choke; Full being the tightest. Modified is a good all-around choke.
