Stuck Choke Tubes
« on: March 15, 2004, 04:46:52 PM »
I have a Stoeger side by side shotgun 12 ga. and the choke tubes seem to be frozen in the barrels.  At the beginnings of last years season I had the choke tubes out and I re-oiled them before putting them back in.  I fired approx 6 boxes of shells and then tried to remove them and they were froze.  I soaked the end of the bis in Kroil for 2 weeks but no luck.  I then soaked the tubes in a jar of diesel fuel for 5 months and still no luck.  If anyone could please help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.

Brownells sells a Stuck Choke Removal Tool for just over $50.  See page 73 of their #56 catalog, or try them on line.  The stock number is 080-826-012.

Obviously oil is not good enough to prevent frozen chokes.  You need an anti-sieze compound.
