Steel shot in Lakefield Mossberg 500?

[Power Pill]

If you've came across my other thread you'll know im interested in getting into goose/duck hunting.
They always say never use steel shot in older guns and I'm wonder if my Lakefield is too old?
It has thread in chokes so no full choke issues.

I wouldn't be worried if it has interchangeable chokes. Just make sure you don't use the full or extra full.

I was told by a reputable to go ahead and use it. When you can feel a wear ring inside the barrel from the shot, have it modified for removable choke system

None of the screw in chokes are rated for steel shot. If you must use one, use Imp Cyl or Modified. They will be tighter with steel as it doesn't compress like lead.

If you're shooting over decoys, IC is plenty.

Some of the older Mossbergs use the Winchester designed chokes and they weren't rated for steel.

Go buy a good mod choke like a Carlson and shot your gun .No problem

Are you referring to this style of choke?
