Albert 888 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 OK gun is a Winchester sx3 choke is a kicks high flyer. My choke comes loose after maybe 10 shots in succession, not a problem when normal shooting but on the clays it's a bit of a pain.the normal chokes done up with a key don't come loose. Anyone else had this happen. I shoot better if I use the same all the time hence using the kicks for clays. Must add I'm not week either, I usually over tighten most things.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Put a little silicon grease on the threads will help it stay put and to come out when you want it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I used it all the time I was using Briley Series 1 chokes and came to rely on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Try cleaning the threads first...........if it is not seating proper then it will undo.....then use you thick grease/copperslip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Use a tapered choke key or a thin screwdriver through the ports to give it a nip up. It’s what I did with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishyplops Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 I used the bisley gun grease , the grey sticky stuff, it's brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Use a tapered choke key or a thin screwdriver through the ports to give it a nip up. Its what I did with mine. Did yours come loose before that. Will try some thicker grease,I didnt want to over tighten mine to much. I can use my rubber strap oil filter removal tool to get it tighter,without damaging the choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Yes it came loose and without any grease it was slack fitting and turned in very easily the tolerances are not the tightest but never had a problem with it. Any heavy grease or anti seize will work and make a gas tight seal in the threads just give it a tighten with something and it should stay tight until you want to remove it.
