Will shooting slugs and buckshot out of a open IC or mod choke eventually cause the choke to strip out sending it downrange? Also in a shtf situation could u still use the gun without a choke (I know it would never be able to use a choke again)? Also has this ever happend to anyone personally. FYI my shotgun has a 21" barrell that uses rem chokes, Thanks.

Answer to your original question, No. You will not be sending the choke tube down range shooting slugs or buck shot throught an I/C or Mod choke tube.
Answer to your 2nd question, Yes. You could shoot the shotgun without the choke tube in it during a SHTF situation. You'll be replacing that barrel shortly afterwards when all calms down or sooner. Not a good idea period.

I've put about 250 rd of various
buckshot and 50 slugs thru my
870.I've had no problems with
the mod choke in the 21"
barrel.

Theoretically there's a slight reduction in kick when going to an open choke, mastinson, but I doubt you'll notice.
The big factors in recoil are gun weight, load weight and speed, fit and form.

With modern slugs, no. Back in the days of a solid lead round ball, it did happen.
The two tightest slug groups I've even seen were fired from a Full choke.
Usually, though, open chokes work better. YMMV.

mastinson,
If you intend to shoot rifled slugs, I would suggest getting a rifled choke tube for your Remington. I set up my Remington 1100 like this every deer season and get outstanding accuracy from it. I started out using the sabotted slugs, but found out that I got nearly as good of accuracy and much better knock-down power using the Winchester brand of Foster type slugs. Just MHO.
