winchester model 1200 12ga.

[jstem]

I was recenly given a winchester 1200 buy my father, and am having trouble finding the info i need online. It is a smooth bore fixed choke. On the barrel under the model and chamber imprint it says "MOD." I think it meens modified choke... I am getting ready for a shotgun only hunt here on the Oregon coast and need to know if i can shoot slugs from this shotgun. And if so any recomendations on brand?

I have a 1200 and shoot slugs with it from time to time. I used to leave the choke out of it, but then I heard/read that it could wreak havoc on the threads for the chokes, so I stopped doing that. I now only shoot them with a full choke. But I do it quite rarely.
