The fixed choke on a Remington 870 refers to the constriction of the shotgun's barrel that determines the spread of the shot as it exits. Unlike interchangeable chokes, a fixed choke is permanently set at a specific constriction, such as improved cylinder, modified, or full. This design influences the shotgun's effective range and pattern density, making it suited for particular types of shooting, such as hunting or clay shooting. Fixed chokes are typically found on older models or specific versions of the Remington 870.
They usually use a modified (medium) choke on the 870, unless it has choke tubes.
The first year that the Rem Choke or screw in choke on Remington shotguns was 1986. It made the already famous Remington 870 even more popular.

Yes, you can use steel shot in a 20 GA Remington 870 Express Magnum as long as the shotgun is equipped with an appropriate choke. It's important to check the manufacturer's recommendations regarding choke constrictions and ensure that the choke can handle steel shot, as using steel shot with a tighter choke can lead to damage or unsafe conditions. Additionally, always verify local regulations regarding the use of steel shot for hunting or shooting sports.
