Don't know much about shotguns.
This old Stevens 258A is a 20 ga. from the 1950's, is in good shape and I want to find out if I can shoot rifled slugs through it. (I've read that sabot slugs are only for rifled shotgun barrels...is that true?)
DON'T KNOW WHAT CHOKE IT IS, and I know that improved cylinder is the best for slugs, but I've also heard that rifled slugs can be fired through any choke, including full. On the other hand, someone told me in an old gun like this, it would be best to NOT shoot slugs through it if it's full choke.
What do you guys think? And how do I determine what choke it has? Thanks.
