I'm not a Mossberg hater -- I have a Mossberg 500 in .410 -- but an older Wingmaster is two or three grades above the Mossberg. Absolutely go for it.
A full choke is fine for trap, but skeet is another story. You want something very open for that. You could even use a cylinder-bore "defense" barrel for skeet if money is tight. They tend to be the cheapest barrels. Cabela's has them now for $119. You want 18" cylinder-bore with a bead sight. It will be a matte finish, which won't match your nice glossy Wingmaster receiver, but the clays won't care.
