PowderBurner Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Hi All, I have a Hatsan Escort Extreme Max with extended choke. The issue is the choke comes loose after only a few shots. Unlike the browning the choke does not use tools, only hand tight. I don’t see a need to change choke, but would like to keep the option. So before I loctite it has anybody come across this issue before and what is the best solution. Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Do NOT loctite it, just use some thick silicon grease or even coppercrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westward Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Buy a Teague taper key. They'll tighten any screw choke in any gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
