I am looking at a shotgun, none of its chokes have notches on it. It has a print that mentions what choke it is. Is it normal to have no notches on choke?

Is it normal to have no notches on choke?

Can happen, it's more common to have notches but laser engraving works too.

Some chokes have coloured rings on them as well.

As far as my understanding goes chokes can either be an accessory to the barrel (i.e screwed in/adjustable ones which would have the notches on it) or the barrel can be built with a specific choke in which case it isn't interchangeable on that barrel. If you were to try to change the choke in that case I guess you would need to either get a different shotgun with the choke you want, or just get a different barrel with the choke you want.

This is all just stuff that I learned from my firearms instructor though so I can't be 100% sure

Is it a Remington? Remington chokes don't have notches.

I don't think it was a remington
