I'm not 100% sure, but I have to wonder why anyone would shoot a slug through a device intended to alter the pattern of shot.

Don't do it. Please don't do it.

I've shot several 20 gauge slugs through a modified choke, with no ill effects. All my 12 gauge slugs have been shot with a cylinder bore barrel, with no ill effects.
Accuracy was ok in both my 12 gauge and 20, not rifle type accuracy, but maybe minute of coke bottle at 25 yards, never shot one farther away. |

The "rifling" on Foster and Brenneke slugs DO NOT impart spin--they are there ONLY to allow safe passage through chokes. They can safely be fired through a full choke.

i've fired rifled slugs through a full choke before but from what I've heard (just ramblings mind you) it's generally inadvisable. Something about bulging a barell blah blah, I'm not sure though

Generally speaking, it's "safe" for you; the shooter, but it's not that good for the shotgun.
What can happen is that eventually, you risk the choke becoming part of the "ordnance package" and ending up downrange with the slug. |

Nearly all shotgun manufacturers of screw in choke guns say Cylinder bore or improved cylinder only. They have noted that most accurate with Foster type slugs seems to be IC.
