Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Stuck choke

I’m interested to hear what worked.....


I would do the Kroil (spooky stuff), and the heat treating - heck I’d shoot it to shock it as well once it soaked in Kroil...

***. Stand the gun on the barrel and soak the choke in the solution

A couple things I didn’t hear

1) Use a brass hammer and hit the choke wrench when it’s on the choke to shock it loose.
2). Heat with a blow dryer as hot as you can get the barrel but have some metal on the choke tube to try to keep it cool.... then shock it with the brass hammer.
3). If it’s a remington - they used to make a socket tool with 4 ears for stuck chokes, I haven’t seen them for a bit but they work good.
4). Brownells has a stuck choke removal tool...


there is a video of using an easy out on youtube... not sure how safe that is to do.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2baneo4rgUA

Any update?

Glad you posted this. It made me check all mine. Some took some rapping and tapping to get out. I went to the Auto Parts store and got copper anti siege grease. I added some moly engine assembly grease to this and viola I had a lifetime supply of choke lube for about ten bucks. The copper works much better than lithium grease I used before. With the copper the chokes don't seem to work loose like they did with grease. I read Lujtic uses STP on theirs, they should know.

I am also making my own stuck choke extractor just in case I need it. I am combining the rubber stopper and the 100 straight nut for the best of both. With the stopper jammed in the choke there is no need for the spring like on the complete 100 straight tool, so it is much more portable and will be faster to use.

Yes any followup?
