I bought 3 boxes of federal ammunition slugs for my Remington 870 shotgun. My question is can i shoot rifled slugs out of my bird barrel and what kind of choke do i need?

My husband passed away. He used to hunt pheasant. His buddy took his old shotgun a few years ago. I am getting ready to move and found several brand new boxes of unused shotgun shells. Can I sell them? I could use the money but don’t want to do anything illegal. What can I do with them. Thanks.

I picked up 4 boxes of Remington rifled shotgun slugs yesterday and I’m noticing the overall length is a bit smaller than the buckshot loads I normally fire. Both the buckshot and slugs were marked on the box as 2/3 inch shells, so why are the slugs a bit smaller overall? Will they work fine in my Mossberg 590A1?
I’m not new, I’m just used to my shells being the length they’re maked on the box to be.
I’ve got Sellier and Bellot buckshot, and it’s a bit longer.
Thanks Metro, as long as it works. How do I pick your answer as best? I’m new to yahoo answers.

Well, here’s the deal. I was misinformed by a few people, and ended up buying the Mossberg 88/Maverick 88 from Academy, and am now stuck with it since gun sales are final. So, I’m contemplating pawning it in order to get a Mossberg 500 or a Rem 870. I’ve heard they are only a few more bucks(max 100) than the new 88 I purchased for 0.

What will pawn shops offer me for the shotgun? I’ve never pawned anything but I have a feeling theyre going to want to give me for it. Anyone have any idea what they might offer considering its brand new, with all the original paperwork and box?

Also, where and how much (provide websites if you can) are shorter tactical Mossberg 500′s and Rem 870′s. I haven’t seen any Rem 870′s that had an 18in barrell.

Thanks fellas… let me know.
I figured as much Doc, I’m advertising it on craigs and soon to be on ebay right now. We’ll see. How much should I sell it for? Got a shoulder saver, lube, and 2 boxes of shells. I’m advertising for 0 right now.

Look at my other post and you’ll realize why I am looking for a 500 now.
I’m basically dissapointed because of what I’ve heard. If I went and shot this gun I couldn’t tell if it was a piece of crap or if it was a great gun. I don’t know guns, but I figure if I’m spending this kind of money I might as well throw out another and get something people say is much better made, like the Mossberg 500. I just didn’t know it was that close in price, if I knew, I wouldn’t have bought the 88. I just have this fear of a year or so from now I take the gun out to the woods, shoot it a few times and it screws up and is basically garbage. Everyone says 500′s have ALOT more durability than the 88′s, and I believe them. I’ve heard alot about the military using 500′s, and if theyre that good, and I can afford it or an 88, I’ll go with the 500.
Yeah I realized ebay won’t let me sell them (technically). But it is listed on craigs, and I’ve gotten two emails, so we’ll see how it goes. By the way I didn’t say it WAS on ebay, I said I was about to put it on ebay.

Usually I would go to Walmart but they now have this dumb rule, 6 boxes per costumer. So I need to know of a good place to buy ammo. I have looked at Dicks Sporting Goods but they dont stock ammo anymore. I have a 12 gauge shotgun and am looking to buy hi brass loads and 7 1/2 game loads. Thanks in Advance!

My dad bought me this 12 gauge Mossberg 535 last weekend for my birthday. We plan on hunting turkey with it this fall.
He also bought me two boxes of Winchester Supreme 3 1/2" Turkey loads for this shotgun.
Will the 3 1/2" Turkey load be great for self defense also?
