Piebob Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I've gone and done exactly what my gunsmith warned me about doing - got a choke well and truly stuck. I guess I've over tightened it. :*) Anyway - anyone got a tried and tested method to get it out? Or is it back to the gunsmith with my tail between my legs?

henry d Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 WD40 don`t use coke or vinegar etc etc. stuff soaked rags in it into the end and leave a couple of days....or if you shoot O.K. with those chokes just leave `em in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enniskillen Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Leaving the end of the barrel in a bucket of diesel for a day or so works as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 I was going to say the diesel one. and when you put them back in clean both sides, and use copperslip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbuild Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Try the diesel method mate and If you get it out, invest in a little tube of choke grease. £2.50? Good luck. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piebob Posted August 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thanks for the advice guys. I've always had a fixed choke but bought the multi around October time last year. Used it all through the winter without any problems but must've had an extra spoonful of porridge the last time I screwed it in. Got some diesel in the garage so I'll give it a go.

ROB REYNOLDS UK Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 now this happend to me and the only real way to get it free is to warm it over some gas ,just the bit at the end no need to get it real hot just warm it up and it wont do no harm to the gun then wipe it over with a oily rag when it has cooled down and you wont even know it has been done ..

lurcherboy Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I use thinners to free off seized engines that have been buried in mud etc. Not sure if it will effect the colour on the barrells though! Recently discovered a 1962 Land Rover 2 1/4 petrol lump that was in a ditch for years. The thinners took 3 days to work. Heating the barrell is good too but could affect the colouring.

deadeye ive Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Heating the barrell is good too but could affect the colouring. WHOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :unsure: :blink: Warming up and HEATING up are two entirely different METHODS Too much Heat being applied to ANY metal whether it is load bearing or it as to handel HIGH levels of stress will WEAKEN it and you don't want to put that Plumbers butane burner or any EXCESSIVE Heat Source on your gun barrel If that level of heat(HOT SPANNER IS THE TERM) is required to free the chokes then the affected area WILL require rehardening and this needs to be done by a proffessional. If funds are a problem to have the chokes removed then I suggest GENTLE WARMING ONLY ,certainly no hotter than what the barrels get after having a few hundred shells down them Glad to help on this type of subject Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
