Totsy Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I keep my choke tubes in oiled containers so the threads always have a covering. It ocurred to me that may be I should be greasing the barrell threads instead? I was thinking about using anti-seize copper grease unless there is any reason this shouldn't be used in gun barrels?

Scully Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I use a very small amount of Hoppes No9 Gun Grease on mine;one because it works,and two,because the smell is addictive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I use a grease from the bike shop, its white with a red top if u really want to know ill have to dig the tube out so pm me, its a chain grease and the tube says its good for the top slide on semi auto handguns. Works a treat and a little goes a long way. Clean and re grease every week and so far, a year later I got over half Tue tube left, at 6 quid it can't be bad. Prefer grease to oil as I know it will stay put and you can grease the other chokes up and leave em in the pouch ready for whenever with no worries. I sure copper grease would be fine if regularly cleaned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerettaSV10 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Generally use gun oil as they normally get taken out and cleaned after us, if they are a loose fit then I use beretta grease (whats to hand at the moment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I use copper grease or tetra gun grease. Oil, when heated will get thinner/ runnier and will work its way out. Your chokes will either keep working loose or get stuck fast when the oil has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu nesling Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 thin smear of copper grease seems to work well for me on the chokes, also copper grease in the auto end cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) Tetra Gun Grease. It helps them stop coming too loose which oil won't do. Edited October 29, 2012 by COACH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny v Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Oil and they look as good as new. Take them out and wipe over every time and just a thin film before popping back in again. V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Shaw Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I dont think it matters if you use oil or grease as long as you lube them with something and clean them regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
