The Maxus might have been so cheap because of the choke tube stuck in the barrel...its a mossy oak coated shotgun. I've tried oiling the tube at the mouth and leaving it a few days, no luck so far. Anyone got ideas on how to get it out? I think the finish on the barrel is a limiting factor...

Is it the type of choke that sticks out of the barrel or is it a flush one? How long has it been since the choke was removed the last time?
My youngest son had a modified choke tube in his Winchester Model 1200 since he bought the gun about 1994. He never took it out even once. Needless to say it got rusted in. I put the gun on my work bench and sprayed Kroil on the choke twice a day for about 5 days. It worked. Got the choke out. Did have the advantage that the original choke stuck out about a 1/4 inch.
Now if the choke is stuck from firing the wrong type of ammo, I can't help you there.

I would begin by soaking the muzzle by submerging it for several days in a small can filled with something like Breakfree CLP. Keep it muzzle down submerged.

If that doesn’t work, there are number of other more aggressive techniques.

Kroil. Can be Aero Kroil or regular in the can.

If aerosol maybe try not to get on the camo. Maybe a few drips a day for a week or so.

Very gentle heat with a hair dryer. Don't get the camo hot, just a little over warm. Stand barrel on muzzle, the Kroil will creep uphill.

Get some of it back where the choke meets the bore as well. The threads are back there.

Possibly stand barrel up in a few inches of the Kroil in a soup can. May bother camo but a redip isn't all that expensive if it messes up the dip job.

^^^^ good advice or Kroil ^^^^^. Yep stand it up in a glass bottle full of kroil overnight and it will loosen up.

As 10gaugemag said, heat it up with a hair dryer along with soaking in a penetrating oil. Which choke tube wrench? The key type or the "T" handle? If the choke tube wrench doesn't rest on the barrel, only on the choke tube, tap on it after soaking and heating and then try turning it.

Kroil would be my first choice, followed by heat gun or hair dryer

Kroil for sure. Might try the freezer? Heat expands, cold contracts... just spitballing.

All good suggestions.

Buddy had a flush mount stuck in a SBE. Did all of above, none worked. Took it to a gunsmith and he was able to get it out without destroying barrel/threads. Clamped and used a giant bar with a welded on wrench. The tube was trashed but the barrel was fine.

cheaper and maybe better than kroil is 1/2 atf and 1/2 acetone, mix well.

Had a briley thin wall choke rusted in an old bps I had. I soaked it muzzle down in kroil for a couple days and that sucker still wouldn’t budge and I wound up stripping out the slots for the choke wrench. Ended up having to heat it up with a heat gun and use a large ez out to get it out. It messed up the choke but the barrel was fine. I’d try an oil soak first and maybe some heat.

I had Kroil ruin a cerakote type finish on a knife once. It was a coated Browning knife. Coating lifted off so I just stripped it all off. Just be aware.

Soak in Amsoil and put the barrel in the freezer over night.

Above all, time and patience are your friends here. Let it sit with penetrating oil for a week. Couple times a day, tap the muzzle end with a rubber mallet - vibration and light shocks help move things around. Warm/cold cycles also help. Give the penetrating oil time to work.

I have used this mix and it usually has worked like magic! Have also seen a few barrels ruined by being twisted, so go slow.

so far nothing has worked. been super busy with work but have used penetrating oil which really messed up the dip/coating, and have procured a t-wrench also. still at it, going to try heat and cold this weekend along with some Kroil.
