    Remove the front sight bead.

    If it is a clay gun shoot it liberally onto the threads with carb cleaner. It very well could be hot plastic from the wad and it got behind the choke if shot extremely hot.

    Soak as noted with intermediate heat (make sure and not use an open flame), think heat gun. Some of the penetrating oils will catch fire.

    Make sure the threads are actually in the oil.

    The soaking may take a week or so.


    Lock the barrel down in a barrel take down tool, even if it's used for rifles but something that has aluminum or copper sleeves and then locks down, wrap painters tape even so.

    Finally
    leverage get a piece of pipe that you can slide over the "T" handle. Gently but rapidly begin to tap on the end of the "cheater bar" acting like an air wrench it should break it loose.

    Once out get a drill attach a copper cleaning brush on a rod and your favorite bore cleaner and just clean the crap out of the inside of the barrel before cleaning and reinstalling.

    I'm with high strung with getting the extended tubes do allow for constant checking when shooting to keep hand tite, but also allow for more vigorous removal methods if something does get stuck.
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    the stuck choke is stuck. dont care what it is. I guess its improved? I dont do chokes.
    this was connors gun. he stopped shooting it a couple of years ago. I had the choke out "recently" (within the last year). I cant imagine how it got this stuck.

    i'll try heat.

    i used a choke wrench. then, i used a pair of channel locks. I dont care what happens to the choke. I can throw it away. I've been told she needs a more open choke.

    that is all I know
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Soak and apply heat. Then use the tool with some force.

    Submerge it in Kroil for several days, not hours. Spraying it with an aerosol based penetrating oil is a waste of time.

    I tried everything I know and then took mine to Jim Kelly. He couldn't get it out.

    You really have only two options;

    1. Leave it alone and shoot it with the choke that is stuck in it.

    2. Cut off the Barrell and have it threaded for a new set of chokes.


    I chose option #1 for my gun.

    Ouch. That’s enough to kill a mother fucker right there.

    Sounds like you have tried everything else, try freezing it. It works for warts.

    Don't use your teeth.
    Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

    This is how I got one out of a Maxus I bought on here several years ago. Wasn’t much to it once I put the 1/2” drive impact wrench on it.

    I’m not surprised the soccer guy doesn’t have enough wrist strength to get a choke out of a gun. That is all.

    Other than make sure that your gun is unloaded, I got nothing.
