Peenoe Hunter Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 What do you guys use to lube their choke tubes? I have been using Birchwood Casey for years but have read various postings were tubes are frozen in barrels particularly in SBE II crio barrels using regular lube. Quote
tucker301 Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 I just use a couple of drops of oil and have never had a problem. I do religiously clean my gun after each use, however. Most folks say that automotive anti-sieze works well. Quote
simp-ink Posted April 24, 2006 Posted April 24, 2006 when you lube your chokes only put a little on the rivits only ....that way your choke will not get baked in. Quote
Trigger Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Plumber's heat proof grease works good. [ 04-25-2006, 01:54 AM: Message edited by: Trigger ] Quote
bones Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I think it is important just to make sure you use something...the more complicated you make cleaning, the less likely you are to do it. Most lube products now work well, IF you use them. I simply wipe my tubes down with any preferred cleaning solvent, powder solvent, wd40 etc. Just be sure and coat lightly with wd, break-free etc. If you don't frequently clean, and plan on leaving a particular tube in for a long period, such as a turkey tube for the length of the season, I prefer to use a light coating of grease over the tube. I've had my SBE since '89, with some periods of neglect and never had a problem following these steps. Quote
