Has to be at least 18" IRRC

Nevermind, its not a barrel. You would have to plug it.

If it fit your gun yes but here's the deal. To legally bird hunt with a shot gun the gun can hold no more than 3 shells. Most guns can hold 5 from manufacturer. 1 in chamber 4 in tube. Yours has what look like an extended tube.

To limit this a "PLUG" is installed. A plug can be made of anything and Doll-Rod works really well. Cut a piece of Doll-Rod the proper length, seal it with sealer or paint, and install it in the tube inside the tube spring. Remember the MAX shells you want to fit in the tube is 2. The only limiting factor as to the plug is as follows...

Plugs used in shotguns must be incapable of being removed with out disassembly.

What does this mean? Use a Doll diameter that is larger than the tube spring end cap hole. In the past some hunters would use pencil sized rods that could be dropped in quickly by removing the end cap and dropping it through the spring cap hole placing the end cap back on. After being checked the end cap could be removed and by shaking the gun the plug would again pass through the spring cap hole.

By using a doll-rod diameter greater than that of the spring cap hole it prevent you from being able to remove it with out having to dissemble. 100% legal and cost about $3.00 and you can have it today.

Can I just replace my entire feed tube with this one and then would the new barrel fit?

I don't know much about this type of thing. I assume that the feed tubes are interchangeable?

Thanks

Yes it should...

Here is a great DIAGRAM of your gun and parts including the tubes available...


Also I found THIS which confirms to a point that removing the tube will be a bit of a task.

Removing the end cap is disassembling the gun. You can use whatever diameter dowel rod you like. FWIW, Changing out he magazine tubes is a PIA. It is easy to crush the one you are trying to remove.
