Haskinator choke tube for 870

[Richland]

Totally new to the shotgun scene.
My rem 870 came with a haskinator tactical choke tube I believe it is what they call cylinder bore.
guy at Dicks ( I know...) sold me rifled slugs to sight it in.
Can I shoot these with the haskinator on the gun?
what can I shoot/not shoot with the haskinator on the gun?
can I shoot/not shoot with no choke tube screwed in to the gun?
Just don't want to f... it up first time..
Thanks

Cylinder bore should be fine with rifled slugs

Don't shoot it without a choke tube.

Cylinder is fine for slugs; if they're sabot (the package will be marked) slugs, you need a rifled bore to get any benefit.

I removed the Haskinator, I don't plan on breeching any doors in the near future. found a SKII choke for 12 bucks at The Gun Room in Shrewsbury.
Will This will be fine for buck shot?
Old school shop The Gun room. not alot of inventory, but the guy was pretty helpful...

Yes it is safe to shoot buckshot through it. Depending on what you are using it for you could go tighter if you needed to.

Slugs should not be fired through a choked barrel? to me this makes perfect sense. how true is this?

Slugs can be fired through a choked barrel down through improved cylinder, so skeet which isn't as restricted as an IC would be fine. You do not want to shoot without a choke in place.

Got it. thanks. What I meant to say was slugs should not be fired with anything tighter than a cylinder choke (0% choked). but you say that I can fire rifled slugs with a choke in place down to Improver Cylinder.
great,
