The Remington 870 7 shot synthetic DOES NOT have a choke tube…. The barrel is a cylinder bore that has no provisions for a choke tube….
Look here — Its a fixed cylinder choke…..

I have 2 of these shotguns and believe me – there is no removable choke….. (the 2 on the bottom)

Just load your shotgun with buckshot, slugs or any 2 3/4 inch or 3 inch cartridges and this shotgun will digest it…..

cylinder if available or improved cylinder are the most common for home defense and the short ranges involved

dModified or Full…I prefer full choke, since it gives you a pile more range since my place is almost 95′ long…i want to put my fist thru his chest after wards. The .45 worked very well also.

if it’s for home defense cylinder bore is the best way to go becuz u want the widest pattern possible

since your using double O Buck I would use a full choke. there are only about 8-12 pellets in that round. If you start spreading the patter with that you won’t be able to have a powerful knock down power after a distance of a short room

It depends upon what and where you are shooting. If you are shooting things in your house, you want an open choke. If you are shooting deer and such, you want a tight choke.

Cylinder or Skeet choke should work fine. Using buckshot in a cylinder choke offers about one inch of spread for every yard traveled, skeet chokes may pattern a bit tighter. At the distance of fifteen yards the pattern should measure approximately fifteen inches. This is good for all but the very largest of rooms inside a house. When using buckshot, a very tight choke can "blow" the pattern resulting in diminished range and accuracy. If you intend to shoot at ranges past 50 yards or so I would suggest using a slug.
