Spectre,
Believe me, I am not one to go against the Manufacturers warnings, but I have a few boxes of slugs here at the house and the only thing close to what you mentioned is a box of Remington Slugger which say "Slugs may be fired through any choke but improved cylinder is best."

I would think that Saboted slugs (which the aformentioned remington are not) would probably be less prone to the Kb! factor, if not completely immune.

I looked around the net and found the following:

Mossberg says not to use slugs in 835 field barrels with accuchoke at any choke diameter
http://www.mossberg.com/faqs.htm#shootslugs

An older article at alloutdoors mentions that cyclinder choke is a good choice for accuracy but mentions nothing about a safety issue with tighter chokes.
http://www.alloutdoors.com/alloutdoors/Library/Hunting/Big/accrev.html

Winchester offers a smoothbore 1300 Ranger slug barrel with rifle site, etc.. with a cylinder choke
http://www.winchester-guns.com/catalog/modl1300/1300feld/13rngcmb/13rngcmb.htm

I was disappointed that there wasn't more info readily available.


Certainly, there will at least be some slugs that the Saiga will be able to shoot safely.
