njc110381 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I've read a few pointers about putting some kind of lube on the threads of choke tubes before screwing them in. Is it best to oil or grease them? Or doesn't it matter? At the moment I'm giving them a light covering of the Beretta oil that was in the case with the gun, but if grease is better I'm going to be getting some for the stub pins anyway. It probably doesn't matter as long as I put something on them, but I thought I'd check just in case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Whatever you choose just don't put too much on. Grease/oil attracts dust which acts as an abrasive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGalway Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I'd go with HD and Pin, use grease ahead of oil if you've got it, and like Pin said don't use too much, a little goes a long way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicW Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I use white Lithium grease as recommended by a gunsmith.I paint it on the choke threads with a small artists type brush.I use the same grease on the bearing surfaces of the gun as well,hinge pins etc.It's easy to use,doesn't dry out and a tube lasts forever.

ziplex Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I still got some 'Copaslip' left from when I used it on all nuts and bolts that might need to be removed from the bikes i've had. Fantastic stuff to stop nuts/bolts seizing and wonder if this would be suitable?.......it's described as high temperature anti seize compound, but feels like a greasy cream and only needs a smear on the threads to work, it doesn't harden either. Any thoughts on this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invector Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I've been using Molyslip on my choke threads for some time. It doesn't harden and seems to work OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplex Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 I've been using Molyslip on my choke threads for some time. It doesn't harden and seems to work OK. Copaslip is made by Molyslip so should be ok then.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
