Remington introduced the first changeable screw in chokes ( Rem Choke ) in 1986 in some models. I think the Rem Choke was standard on the 11-87 model in 1987 - and later in versions of the 870. I don't know for sure when it was standard on the 870 Wingmaster model.

So any Remington mfg prior to 1986 will have a fixed choke that is not changeable - unless the barrel has been aftermarket threaded to accept screw in chokes - or someone put a replacement barrel on the gun.

I would not recommend a shotgun without screw in changeable chokes as a general purpose shotgun like you are looking for ( although you might be able to get by on one gun choked in IC or Mod - if you got a great price on it - and open the pattern up a little by adjusting your loads ) - but its not as versatile, in my opinion, as a gun with screw in chokes.
