Trent Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi people, just wondering what the name is of the grease that is best to put a drop of on the choke threads - I know apparently you're not supposed to use gun oil there, and I was wondering, when I clean the barrel with the patches saturated with powder solvent, is it best to clean it with the choke in or out? Perhaps there's a tutorial somewhere online that you know about that would help me? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I always clean the barrels with the chokes in so all the crud in the barrel doesn't clog the threads, and personally I don't oil or grease the thread as I just loosen the chokes after cleaning and before putting the gun away. I suppose you could use copperslip grease if you wanted to stop the chokes sticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I use bearing grease bought from a cycle shop, it has added PTFE and I use it on the hinge pins and bite as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest topshot_2k Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 i clean the barrels with the chokes in then remove them, wipe over and grease the threads with copper grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Bear Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) I use bearing grease bought from a cycle shop, it has added PTFE and I use it on the hinge pins and bite as well. Use a similar thing the same way - Pronatur - grease with PTFE They also do a spray on for where grease may be a bit heavy. If the "carrier" dries out you still have the PTFE to stop seizing.

Condor Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I was taught clean barrels with chokes in so as not to foul up the threads, then remove chokes and clean them, lubricate and return - I use a spot of Tetra white grease or a drop of gun oil.
