Anyone still making Paradox choke tubes?

I remember reading about these as a kid, believe they also had several other names. Basically a shotgun choke tube but instead of just constricitng the shot it actually had a couple inches of rifling. Supposed to provide a marked increase in slug accuracy while not totally destroying shot patterns. I mostly use slugs in my home defense shotgun, so if these are available it might be worthwhile having them welded or threaded onto the barrels.

I don't know about a paradox brand, but rifled choke tubes are pretty common.  Never used one myself.

I got a rifled choke tube with a 20" barrel I bought for my 870. Never used it, though, so I can't say if it works well or not.

What is your furthest range you thing you will be shooting slugs?

Also a rifled barrel or choke tube really doesn't make sense for Foster slugs, they are designed for sabot slugs.

Foster slugs are going to lead the hell out of a rifled choke tube.

Why do you feel the need for enhanced accuracy at home defense ranges?  Am I reading that wrong?

Currently I feel limited to across the room. If it was more accurate I could see using it for hunting out to 100ish yards or so.

And that's interesting, as I'm sure the original design was used with normal lead slugs.

More accuracy is always better, isn't it? I don't have a good home defense rifle at the moment, but I miss having that level of precision available. Never know when a home invader might grab my kid or wife to uise as a shield for example. Be nice to be able to confidently make headshots in that situation.
