My first shotgun was a model 88 and I actually took my first bird with it. Mine has a 28" barrel, you may have a hard time with that short of a barrel as far as getting a good pattern, but you won't know until you shoot it. As far as it accepting chokes or not that barrel should be threaded so it should. Also, if for some reason that is a fixed choke barrel any barrel from a Mossberg model 500 will fit it.
