Hi, do all Remington chokes fit in all Choke compatible Remington barrels ? If NO, how do you know what will fit and what won't ?

Do all Remington chokes fit In any choke compatible barrel.

Thanks !

Thanks
So generally how do you know when a shotgun is good for one type and not the other ? Is it described on the barrel with the other information ? In the manual ?

It will generally be the opposite i.e. the choke package will carry such information regarding specific shotgun model, gauge that particular choke is designed to fit.

To add further, let's say you need a choke for that Stevens 320, you could look at an aftermarket product (example - Carlson). They offer the Winchoke that will interchange with Savage products. Obviously, you would need to confirm that the choke is compatible with the Stevens 320.

The choke manufacturing company will decide to tell the consumer what guns the choke is designed for.
Hastings chokes will tell the shopper what gun to install the chokes into.

Thanks for the info. If I could choke my shotgun I'd be happy. My Stevens 320 is just a cylinder bore. It doesn't mention its equipped for installing chokes tho. Is there anyway this could still work ?
 
Is the inside of the end of the barrel threaded?
Dang, chamber open and check for no shells lodged in there.
No threads, needs to be threaded.

Here's a link to a chart..........

If you are not sure, go see a gunsmith. They will be able to tell (for free) if the gun is threaded for chokes and if it is not threaded, whether there is enough barrel thickness to install them (i.e. tap the muzzle for chokes).

Tapping the muzzle will cost money if you go that route.
 
Just did a google for Stevens 320. First hit, from maker's site, states thread for Winchester choke tubes. Unless someone has visited yours with a hacksaw, that's probably what you have. Did you clear the shotgun and look at the muzzle before you started typing?
 
The security version, with the ghost ring sights, appears to have a fixed cylinder bore, according to the Cabelas website. I guess we should prepare ourselves for a barrage of inane questions, as the OP is:
1) unable to ascertain if a given barrel has a removable choke installed
2) has no firearms buddies who could
3) is too frugal to go to a gunsmith, and expose himself to possible financial risk.

f:P: Dontcha think that extra bit of information should have been included in your first post?

Rule number 10. Learn The Mechanical And Handling Characteristics Of The Firearm You Are Using
Not all firearms are the same. The method of carrying and handling firearms varies in accordance with the mechanical characteristics of each gun. Since guns can be so different, never handle any firearm without first having thoroughly familiarized yourself with the particular type of firearm you are using, the safe gun handling rules for loading, unloading, carrying and handling that firearm, and the rules of safe gun handling in general.

For example, many handgun manufacturers recommend that their handguns always be carried with the hammer down on an empty chamber. This is particularly true for older single-action revolvers, but applies equally to some double-action revolvers or semiautomatic pistols. You should always read and refer to the instruction manual you received with your gun, or if you have misplaced the manual, simply contact the manufacturer for a free copy.

Having a gun in your possession is a full-time job. You cannot guess; you cannot forget. You must know how to use, handle and store your firearm safely. Do not use any firearm without having a complete understanding of its particular characteristics and safe use. There is no such thing as a foolproof gun......

It's not threaded , smooth inside the bore all the way to the muzzle. I remember calling savage arms and asking if it takes removable chokes and they said NO. The field version has 28" barrel with a fixed modified choke.

Is it bad to be financially responsible and not throw away money? I know the Canadian trend is to be in bad credit card debt or have lines of bank credit maxed out but I don't agree with that.

I don't think threading it would make sense. I bought it for 193$ Brand new from savage arms directly and id imagine setting it up for a choke would cost around $150$?
I can buy a shotgun for hunting purposes with a longer barrel and w/chokes for like $300- $400 new and maybe sell this security version for 250-300$
 
Dude - With the choke installed you wouldn't see the threads. You would see some notches at the end of the barrel to allow removal with a choke wrench.

So why did you buy this gun in the first place? Cool factor? Internet lore?

FWIW - Given your current level of proficiency with a shotgun, and your desire to plink, the cylinder bore will serve you just fine. Otherwise, you're going to get all bunged up about which choke to use for what purpose etc.

If it is not threaded then you will have to either (1) accept this and move on, (2) have the barrel threaded for chokes, (3) purchase a barrel compatible with a choke system, or (4) purchase another firearm.

A lot of weight is put on having specific chokes for every situation; you can successfully hunt a lot of game with a cylinder choke. I'd say turkey is the only game where a tight choke is absolutely mandatory.

I know someone at savage arms and was able to get 35-45 % off retail on a bunch of firearm purchase thru a family / friends discount. Figured maybe this could work (the Stevens 320) for predator security and hunting. My options were limited to what they had in stock and what I picked was the best option. The other options were stevns 320 pistol grip styles. Even if I use this shotgun I can sell it for more then what I paid for it so I'm not losing anything. Maybe I should just use it for some small
Game huntig and see if I can connect with some targets.

I was asking about Remington chokes out of curiousity. So if I want to purchase a new shotgun I have some prior information stored in my brain concerning chokes and such.

It will work, after all it sends shot and slugs down the pipe, right? As long as you recognize that it won't always be as versatile as a shotgun fitted with a choke system. That being said, you will be able to shoot slugs and use it for upland game as well as waterfowl over decoys if you shoot within your limits. i'd be more concerned with barrel length for pass shooting but you could get used to that with practice. A short barrel could be nicer for deer hunting or thick brush.

Nothing wrong with asking. As a community we should be helping each other.

Absolutely!

However, if you (OP) wish to take full advantage of a one-shotgun-do-it-all type of product then simply dispose of your Stevens while that is still in new shape and acquire a Mossberg or Remington combo - example: a longer barrel equipped with screw-in chokes + a short cantilever barrel (usually a rifled bbl). Whenever needed, the cantilever barrel with optics installed could simply be removed without affecting the scope's zero. With proper maintenance, such a setup can provide years of service and meet diverse field requirements till perhaps such time you begin to look for something else.

Frugality is an excellent trait. However, from a perspective of somewhat long term cost efficiency, the combo would be the initial path to take. This particular hobby will involve some expense and attempts to cut corners right at the onset may lead to spending more in the long run.
