Mossberg slug gun question

[dovehunter]

Just make sure you only attempt to shoot slugs out of that 835 using a barrel designated as safe to use with slugs. The smooth-bore barrels are all back-bored, making them unsafe to shoot with slugs. All the smooth-bore barrels for my 835 say this on the barrel. You do have to read it though. This is also addressed in the owner's manual. However, since I got the impression that you got your gun used, you may not have gotten the owner's manual. You are probably already aware of this but I figured I'd point it out in case you weren't.
