Will any choke key fit a choke?

No not every key is the same , but if you only have two choke there is little point in removing them anyway , or do you mean you have two spare chokes ?

 

If they are not in over tight then you may get away with a taper key.

If you take them out, you will trash your gun. There are fine threads on the inside of your barrels to screw the chokes into. Take the chokes out and your thread will soon follow.

 

There are marks on each choke - dots, stars or letters. Post them on here and someone will be able to advise you what they are.

Ok thanks alot, i just thought they may needed to be taken out to be cleaned ..

 

They help to add a little narrowing (or not) to your shot pattern. As I've just had a rather fine lunch I'm afraid I'm a little too lazy to write it all out now but this information should help you.

 

In my experience they don't make an earth shattering amount of difference but well worth considering alongside the right type of cartridge matched to your quarry.

http://www.teagueprecisionchokesltdshop.co.uk/store/Tapered-Choke-Key.html will fit most what is the barrel bored at? 18.3?

Silma chokes may be very similar to beretta or another well known design, if you stick your finger in the chokes and turn do they move at all?

This is what you want, although the one shown is for a 20g. I've used one for years.

Now that's one handy looking tool. I'll just have to wait until a 12 gauge version comes into stock.

Thanks, when you say they will trash your gun do you mean if you are not careful? Could really do with them taking out since there 1/4 chokes which i've been told are too tight for clays..

He means shooting your gun without the chokes in will ruin your gun at best and could damage you or a bystander at worst so DO NOT SHOOT WITHOUT CHOKES IN .

The chokes fit in via a fine thread and if you shoot the gun without those threads will get wrecked .

If you only have the two chokes forget about them , they do not need to be removed to clean.

1/4 is perfectly suitable for clays and most game shooting , so who ever is telling you otherwise is talking rubbish
