matty* Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 The choke in my lanber is stuck spolid. I must admit i dont have the right choke key but i managed to remove one with a tool i have but the other seems stuck solid? Any ideas or methods people have to remove it? And please if anybody has an old style lanber choke please pm me. Thanks Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 To start put the muzzle in diesel deep enough to cover the whole choke tube, leave it a few day to a week, buy a proper choke key while it soaking then try again.

littlerob Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 The teague universal key are good diesel and leave the choke end tip submerged in about 3inchs for a couple of days to a week you can get a type of freeze spray mechanic's use it to free rusted bolts gental heat from a hair dryer may expand it too thats a few tips to try out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Or try shooting 20 carts through the barrel then try with proper key Teague or Carlson speed wrench if no good try bucket of derv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 If the above don't work. Heat the out side of the barrels and apply pressure to the choke key trying to undo choke and tap the top of the choke key with a small hammer, it usually works. If not trip to gunsmith to machine out. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyh Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 No. 7 Easyout attached to a set of molegrips. Wrap the barrel in a towel, get the wife to stand on the barrels over the back steps and turn Easy as pie and only ever very fine rust to be seen. These guns have ridiculously fine threads in their chokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Stand the Barrels in boiling water for a few minutes, and then use the choke key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Any more tips then please keep them coming Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyh Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Older Lanbers have knurled ends whilst newer ones look like Beretta's ie 4 slots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR1 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 There is a Beretta metal key on the bay 4 slot version. As others have mentioned soak in some form of release agent , put metal key in vice , push barrel onto key and turn under pressure to prevent key slipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 You could use a Carlson speed wrench. Or taper Teague type. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistolgrip Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 If it's an external choke get a freezeing kit from a plumbers merchants (about £15) spray the very end and try removing it with some footprint pliers, rag the choke first of course.

matty* Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 The barrel is being soaked at the moment in diesel and a new teague choke key on its way. I hope it does free up as ive got a new choke on its way. Never had this problem befor as im quiet good with keeping my guns clean and oiled. Once its out if it comes out i can start over with this gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashcmt Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Someone in the wanted section had posted about needing lanber chokes and keys. One of the responses was the guy from shotgun store.co.uk who have a suitable key. its of interest to me as I have a multi choke lanber with no other chokes or a key.

welshwarrior Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 If you've had no joy and your near me pop in I'll remove it for you with a choke remover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty* Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Well its out!!! After a soak in red deisel i tryed the teague choke key i ordered but still to no joy. I then let soak a bit more then dryed off the choke end and heated with a hair dryer. First attempt at this didnt work either. So i heated up again and instead of trying to undo the choke i tryed to do it up some more and it moved so then tryed undoing it again and it came straight out. Very pleased. Thanks for all the tips and help. Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty* Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yes i will. I brought the gun how it was. It only came with too chokes (already in the barrels with one stuck) and no key. Its was a gamble but its payed off. Looking like a nice little gun now, oiled the stock and a good clean. Thanks to everyone who gave advice. Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
