Shotgun slugs and chokes?

Yes. Most chokes are fine with slugs, even full chokes in some cases but be careful with those.

Personally, I use mod and impr cyl chokes for slugs.

You only need a rifled barrel for sabot slugs.

I probably wouldn't remove the choke a shoot slugs. I've never tried but I'd be worried about damaging the threads.
 
How can a guy find out for sure if a particular full choke will accept normal rifled slugs? Keep reading conflicting things and I wanted to know for sure.

Do they narrow right down on the way out? Or will the gun kaboom...

I'd like to read an actual story of a full choke blowing up due to a rifled slug. Never heard of it and have personally shot rifled slugs thru lots of full chokes including those crazy Mossberg screw down chokes.

I have a browning cynergy, back bored and not rifled, and Browning states, in the owners manual, that I can shoot sabot out if it. They also have a express sabot rifles choke available.
 
the "rifling" on "rifled" slugs is not there to make it spin its there to help the slug swage down(even though most are under full choke dia) the extra lead has some where to go into the grooves

the rifled slugs/foster slugs use weight forward to stabilize
