Make the barrel smoothbore, and make the projectile a rifled slug. A fin-stabilized projectile with a discarding sabot would be interesting also.

It’s been tried. Meh. Not as good as you’d hope in small bore weapons.
Rifled slugs out of a shotgun... there’s real success under 100 yards to be had here, and you need only have a mold into which you cast lead. Lead is easy to obtain. Making a smooth-bore barrel for a shotgun is also easy.
