Yes they are interchangable. The chokes are different between the SBE and SBEII and do not interchange. The SBE needed different forearms for a slug barrel and a bird barrel. The SBE II now uses one forearm for both barrels.
What choke do I use for slugs?
It’s important to select a choke tube with little to no constriction. That’s why a cylinder or improved cylinder choke is ideal for use with slugs. These types of chokes have a large enough diameter to shoot slugs without damaging the shotgun barrel or causing harm to the person firing.
Can you shoot slugs out of any shotgun?
No, not all shotguns are meant to shoot slugs. Non-rifled (smoothbore) shotguns are meant to shoot foster style slugs. Also, be careful with shooting any type of slugs out of older shotguns, or shotguns with a choke, a choke adds restriction which may deform your barrel over time.
