Why not buy a new barrel if possible with the choke desired.

Yup , but often the cost is more than the gun is worth.
My suggestion would be to get it reamed and left as a fixed choked instead of getting screw in chokes installed .

Assuming it is full choke.

There is no problem with shooting slugs through a full choke. A modified choke might offer better accuracy....
