Hey! Picked up a threaded 18" 3" 870 barrel and am wondering if it needs
a different size choke than my 23" SM barrel. Thanks!

Only one way to find out. You probably wont find many Remington shooters turkey hunting with a barrel that short. Try and C.

I bought an extra Remington factory barrel years ago for my 870 SM. It's 18 or 20 inches and threaded. It is a iron sighted slug barrel and came from the factory with their flush mount rifled choke. I put a Remington "Ventilator" .655 Extended Turkey choke in it. It is deadly with Federal's old Premium 3" 2 oz. 7 1/2 shot!! Works good with 6's too! Only way to find out is to try one you have and see what happens! Good luck.
