stuck choke tube

[Coach]

I need some info on how to get a choke tube out of my barrel. it's been in there for awhile. Does anybody have any suggestions.. thanks

[judge jb]

give a good spraying with wd-40 and let sit for several hours.. keep spraying as it soaks it up. get a good tube wrench and maybe even sone pliers for some extra pumpkin... once you get it out, apply vaseline or good gun or reel grease and lube threads so it dont happen again.. be careful of some penetrating oils. may harm blueing.. i like to keep mine just hand tight and screw in and out regularly.... good luck..

you may want to try a little candle heat{not with any oil on it}.

this happened to me just the other day. i do alot of mechanic work so i knew how to approach it. take off your barrel and grab your choke wrench. ease the choke out just a little and squirt some penetrating oil all around it and then run your tube back in and back out. squirt more oil every so often. just keep doing that and work it out. let us know how that goes.

Coach,

Like everyone else said, use good penetrating oil and let soak for a while. You can't use too much oil. The best out there is PB Blaster. Be sure to let it soak for a while, if you don't you could run the risk of pulling the threads out with the tube. And you definitely don't want that!

Just my 2 cents.

Get you a hack saw and cut it off just behind the last threads. Just kidding...haha. If I couldn't get it unstuck I would take it to a professional before damaging the finish on the gun. They see things like that all the time. I wonder if that stuff Knight makes for their muzzleloaders breech plug would work for the screw in chokes just as good? Just a thought.

If the bubba oil don't work,put a touch of heat to it. Won't hurt the barrel that bad!

Do everything everyone is saying and be very careful. Those threads are extremely easy to strip!

Stick the end of the barrel in a jar full of diesel fuel. Let it soak for 2-3 days and it will come right out.
