Title: Help?
Post by: mr.ktm95 on September 25, 2011, 10:11:26 AM: Hello I have a remington model 31 20 guage, and it has a fixed full choke in it. And I was wondering if it would be okay for slugs :dunno: I have never shot a slug so I am clueless on that subject. Any info help thanks.

I'm guessing that things have not changed. I'm sure the manufacture provides info on this.
