Does this model Remington shotgun have a Remington Removable Choke System?

Donald, yes Sir it does. This shotgun comes with (1) Modified Remington Choke. You can find additional Rem Chokes, if needed, here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/search.php?q=rem+choke&type=

Oops just reread my answer I made a typo The lop on the youth model is 12" 🤦♂️

Donald, yes it does and it comes with the modified choke installed. Have a great day!

Yes this is essentially the same shotgun as the youth model 81161 that you asked about below, only the lenght of pull is longer on this model (13") where the LOP on the youth model is 20" both take the same Rem chokes and both include the vent-rib barrel with a Modified Rem™ Choke. Full details here https://www.remarms.com/shotguns/pump-action/model-870/model-870-express

For this particular 20 gauge what kind of slugs are safe to fire?

Lucas, Foster Type Slugs are recommended Sir. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/37897/brenneke+20+ga+3%22+magnum+1+oz+lead+sabot+slug

Lucas, Foster Type Slugs are recommended Sir.

Is the barrel interchangeable on this model?

yes all Remington 870 models have interchangeable barrels (gauge specific)

yes they are All the barrels (same gauge) are interchangeable without adjustment.

What is the ammo capacity for this shotgun?

Four in the tube and one in the chamber.

This shotgun has a 4 round tube plus 1 in the chamber makes it a 4+1 or 5rd total Peter.

I have read that there is a rust problem with the 870 no matter what you do. Is this true?

I've had a Remington 870 for many years. No rust on my 870. That being said, any firearm that's not properly stored and cared for can rust.

I have 2 Remington 1100s from the 1960s that have no rust

I have owned many Remington 870s including the 870 expresses the wingmasters have a finish that is as good as any in the industry. the express models have more of a parkerized finish which will require a little more care to prevent surface rust I kept a oily rag handy to wipe it down before putting it in the safe and I never had a rust issue

Not recently. Remington uses a much better coating process on current firearms compared to earlier models. By habit i always clean my firearms before storage and use inexpensive anti rust bags. They work wonders even in high salt coastal areas. I would not worry about the 870.

Remington 870 Express Compact 20 GA 21 RC-Mod Black

**Mouse over image above to zoom any area, or click on image to zoom the entire image.

Like all Model 870 shotguns, this workhorse features a receiver milled from a solid billet of steel for maximum strength and reliability. The silky-smooth twin action bars prevent binding and twisting so you'll always have the chance to get off a second shot. Because young shooters are more likely to become stewards of the shooting sports if they are initiated with a gun that fits properly, the 870 Express Compact features a shorter LOP and barrel length than standard 870s for proper balance. It has a durable, synthetic forend and buttstock with sling swivel studs, adjustable LOP (to 1"), and a SuperCell recoil pad for a comfortable shooting experience. These compact 20 gauge models have a 21" vent rib barrel, single bead sight, and Modified Rem Choke. This item has a black stock and matte non-glare metal finish.

Solid reliable shotgun. The 870 has been user by professionals for many years for a reason.

This is my the first shotgun I've ever owned. I hit the clay pigeon with my first shot aprx 60 ft away. Also, I've never fired a shotgun before in my life. This is a great starter shotgun in my opinion. There's only a front sight shot on this gun (not sure what's common). As long as its lined up right there's no issue.

remington make a nice 870. the compact express is great for brush and thick stuff(rabbits and grouse) with the shortter barrel and light weight. not to mention the composite stock and parkerized finish for all weather use. and the shot gun is priced right too

Great for home defense. No need for the 12 gauge. Bought two pieces of sheetrock and used them as a target at 15 yards away. # 4 Turkey load 3 inch magnum went through both pieces together. Glad I did that test.
