My problem
Jun 25 2012, 11:49 PM EDT
So when I was 9ish I bought my first trap gun, a Mossburg 500 youth. when I was about 13 I learned what a choke tube was so I tried to take it out, but I couldn't, now, a few years later I am still trying to get it out but it just won't budge. My question is what would be the best way to get it of without hurting the gun?

Reason one TO CLEAN THE DAMN THING!!Well, first thing that comes to mind is to soak it in a little penetrating lube like WD-40 or something similar....from both ends though, may mean removing the barrel and putting a bit in a cup/container and letting it soak for awhile. After that CAREFULLY try and unscrew the choke. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Reason one TO CLEAN THE DAMN THING!!If that doesn't work, you may need to take it to a gunsmith. Nothing wrong with that, just don't make the same mistake twice. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"How long should I let it sit for?"As long as it needs, maybe 30 mins, maybe a few hours. If you can't do it even if it's been a few hours, just take it to a gun smith 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Just a regular Choke tube wrench "Those crappy T ones that come with the tubes? Maybe try an extended one that gives more leverage. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Those crappy T ones that come with the tubes? Maybe try an extended one that gives more leverage."Pretty much what I'd do. I'd let it soak over night, get a good choke wrench(Remington makes a pretty good spinner type one) and then try it out. Those T types are garbage and you can't get enough leverage.

I'm going to shoot some trap tonight so I'll bring the gun. I'm sure someone there will have a better wrench

Nope but it was fun to shoot. Everybody keeps saying its a turkey choke but I don't know. Maby the reason it's stuck is because I shot a few slugs with the choke.
