Model 12 16 gauge advice, please

[benogil]

I have a Model 12 16, made in the 1930's. My question is will it handle slugs ?
It is in great shape, and a full choke. Thanks.

Probably. I know the scuttlebutt is that some manufacturers recommend not to shoot slugs from a full fixed choke, but I've seen it done, and done it, many times without a problem.

Don't shoot steel shot through it though, unless you want a bulged barrel.

I have a 12ga Mod 12 made in1927 full choke and over the past 50 years have killed many dear with slugs,open sites, no scope, all org. Go to it.

Thanks guys, after reading the steel shot post, I thought it best to check.

Foster slugs are ok

Forster slugs will work without damaging the shooter or the weapon, but accuracy may suffer. Some exceptions exist.
