ditchman Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 are you putting too much lube on them....wash the chokes and swab out the barrel threads....wipe the threads down with and oily cloth...and thats it....if you put too much lube on the threads will hydraulic...and nor tighten properly...

rbrowning2 Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 However I would sooner have loose chokes then have them stuck and unable to remove them. So frequently remove and clean them if you only lightly oil them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Take the chokes out and clean them thoroughly. Clean the choke pockets thoroughly. Get some simple silicon grease, nice and thick and sticky. Add a small amount to the threads and reseat your chokes. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only finger tight and never come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years I have used branded grease for everything from Browning, Beretta, Brileys and Teagues. Nowadays I just use cheaply available silicon grease without an expensive name on the tube.

Always good to check, I do too, but a bit of thick sticky silicone grease sorts the problem out. Years ago I saw a Teague choke leave a barrel, conclusion (from Teagues) was that it had not been tightened properly. Earlier this year a chap in our squad lost a Hatsan choke while shooting at Northampton, he said he never checked them once fitted! Takes a second or two to check and should become a habit. Much cheaper than buying new barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only using Teague's grease as I was given a small tube to try about 8 months ago, and still plenty left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger687 Posted Thursday at 16:56 Report Share Posted Thursday at 16:56 Use any lubricant of your choice and tighten them down firmly with a choke wrench. Chokes, like any threaded fixturing, need some pre-load to operate properly. You will not be able to apply enough pre-load with your fingernails. I've never had a choke work loose when wrench tightened, but have frequently had to re-tighten when I haven't used one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago 19 hours ago, Fargo said: This is why I dislike multi choke guns I agree, but having said that I do own one. Converted by Teague by a previous owner. I use ordinary grease, Teague's own choke wrench and do then only moderately tight. I have never had them work loose, nor have I ever had them stick.
