Cylinder bore with rifling?

[ironhead]

I just got a NEF tracker 2 SB1 and there is rifling in the barrel. Is this normal for a cylinder bore? Should I use rifled slugs or sabots? Can I shoot shot shells through it?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure you have a rifled slug barrel on that one. A rifled shotgun barrel is gonna scatter/halo shot in a very short distance from the barrel. NEF will fit another barrel on your reciever if you ship it to them, thou I'm not sure what they charge.

I must have read your post a little to fast. On a rifled barrel sabots tend to be more accurate VS rifled slugs. You can shoot shot shells out of it but as I said in the previous paragraph the patern isn't gonna look good at all.

"Cylinder bore" really only applies to a smoothbore barrel. If it's rifled you can use slugs and sabots, shot will be totally impractical as Clifford says.

I guess I'll try some sabots through it and see how it does. Already have a damn nice Winchester model 12 made in '53 but it has a smooth bore and I don't want to have the barrel worked on to take chokes. It was passed down to me and will go to one of the kids one day.

Thanks for the info guys.
