Chuck, no, this defensive shotgun has a Fixed Cylinder Bore with no threads for screw-in chokes.

Hi Chuck, No This comes with a Fixed Cylinder Bore. The barrel isn't "Threaded" to add chokes. This is more like a home protection shotgun. If looking for something with chokes look into a 26"-30" barrel.

Chuck, I own one of these that I purchases a about 3 years ago. The barrel is not threaded and therefore cannot accept a screw in choke. The barrel tip is choked sized a Cylinder sized choke to accommodate shot gun slugs and buckshot. Of course you can shoot "bird-type" loads with this shotgun but the shot pattern very quickly spreads out dramatically. Interestingly, mine came with a choke wrench in the box but don 't known why. Also note that this is a relatively heavy shotgun. Not a big deal as it helps to reduce recoil and good in home defense situations, but one may not want to tote this heavyweight shotgun around all day hunting field game. If you are looking for a multi-purpose shotgun I would recommend you look at Mossberg, Savage, Winchester, etc., brands. For home defense only, the HR Pardner is more than adequate. Also note that at one time HR was a premier gun manufacturer. They are now owned by an investment group and their guns are manufactured and imported from the far
