Check the owner's manual, or check with Mossberg customer service. Unless the choke is rated by the maker for steel shot, not good to do.
C-lect choke is an adjustable choke system that Mossberg implemented on their shotguns pre-1977. After 1977 they went to the accu-choke system. The choke is adjustable between Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. It is, however, not recommended for use with steel shot.
Yes, you can shoot steel shot out of a Mossberg 500 with a factory choke, but it's important to check the specific choke tube being used. Standard factory chokes are typically rated for steel shot, but tighter chokes (like full chokes) may not be suitable for steel due to the increased pressure and risk of damaging the choke or the barrel. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific model and choke type to ensure safe use.

We would use a modified or full choke, and #4 shot.
You can use steel shot with a choke anywhere from cylinder to modified, i wouldn't recommend using steel with a improved modified or a full choke.
From Mossberg's website:"Can I shoot slugs or buckshot through a "smoothbore" field barrel with Accu-Choke™ tubes? (500/505/535/9200/88/930 models) Yes, and with sabots or rifled slugs, the more "open" the choke tube, the better the accuracy ("Improved Cylinder" recommended.) The "full" or "modified" choke tubes are preferred for buckshot loads. Slugs, buckshot and steel shot loads are not recommended for use with an extra full "turkey tube" installed, due to the tube's tight constriction. Do not fire any load without a choke tube installed, doing so will damage the internal choke tube threads. "
No
