Slug barrel for A300 Xtrema

BoogieMan · August 4, 2015, 02:50 PM

Love my xtrema and I would like to consider using for NJ deer also. Sure I can shoot buckshot or use my CVA. But, that leaves the A300 in the safe.
So is it a bad idea to use for slugs?
Is there a rifled slug barrel available for the A300 Xtrema?
I dont think they are the same as the A300 barrel, may be more like the A400 barrel.

Rifled slugs are always an option. Screw in an improved cylinder choke and away you go. Sights or a scope mount will add difficulty to the scenario.

Its not legal to shoot slugs in NJ without adjustable sights. The stock barrel has beads.
I Googled and can find anything for this gun. I guess the production numbers were to low for aftermarket manufacturers. Also the gas piston is captive in the barrel, will make an aftermarket barrel expensive.
