I need a 20 gauge slug gun for a project. Basically any 20 gauge will work as long as it has a rifled barrel and a 3 inch magnum chamber. Condition really doesn't matter because I won't be needing to shoot this for accuracy. Do you guys usually see these types of guns at pawnshops used or should I start looking on gunbroker or at a gun store?

Why must it be a rifled barrel and 3"? 2 3/4" rifled slug out of a smooth bore cylinder choke is just as accurate. But if it ain't about accuracy what's difference would it matter?

And yes I see em at pawnshops all the time. Usually moss begs and single shots. $300 or less.

It must be a rifled barrel because I am going to be using this to shoot 14.5mm(20 gauge) artillery simulators out of it. It needs to be a 3 inch chamber because these rounds are long to begin with and won't work in a shorter chamber. Accuracy doesn't matter because I'm just going to be using this gun to lob these downrange and won't be needing to hit precise targets

With a little pipe, you know this would be a super easy and legal DIY pipe project... You could make an artillery mortar super easy.
