Rem 870/887 chokes

[biggssw6]

Can I use my Remington 870 chokes in my Rem 887 ?
I have the type that uses a key.

 

[Claybuster]

Yes. Both the 870 and 887 use the same choke.

Assuming that they aren't something installed post factory by a gunsmith they will definitly interchange.

It just doesn't look right !
The standard 870 chokes recess into the plastic barrel by about 1/8 ".
I can imagine the shot blast fraying the barrel end.

 

[JamesM]

Thats odd cause everyone I've handled has the good old fashioned remchoke modified in the barrel when I checked.... I dunno what to tell ya but 1/8th of an inch seems excessive.

Why not pull a choke out of both and lay them side by side?

The chokes that came with the gun are the extended type,easily changed without a tool.

That must be a recent development. The 887 that I owned briefly came with flush RemChokes which fit properly in the barrel. The 887 barrel itself is steel but has a plastic coating to prevent corrosion. If Remington is providing extended chokes with the gun then that is what you should probably use in it.

Plastic barrel?
