Steelhead Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I was out at the trap range breaking in my Super Nova. Patterning all the stock chokes. I noticed that every third or fourth shot my "Modified Choke" would spin loose. My other two chokes don't loosen up. ??????? What gives? Did I get a bad choke or is this a common thing? I only ask because I am new to using a SG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 How far "loose" would it spin out?And what shells were you shooting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelhead Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 I was just using 2 3/4 #7 shot skeet loads. The choke would be finger loose maybe a 1/4 turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH/QuakerBoyProstaff Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 That happens all the time,the tube isn't defective.You'll notice that it will do it with some chokes,and not others.I have turkey chokes that back out as well as mod and such.The way I seat my turkey tubes is to clean the threads with degreaser,put choke tube lube on the threads up to the very last one nearest the muzzle,and put a (very) tiny dot of blue threadlocker on the last thread.It removes easily,but not too easily. take care.

Matt D Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Did you use Choke lube on the threads of the choke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jualdeaux Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've never even heard of choke lube. where might I find some and is there a preference? Can you tell I'm a shotgun newbie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I saw a problem with chokes backing out of a SX2, they used Choke Lube and it mixed the problem. I use Birchwood Casey brand, Tetra also makes one. Try Cabelas or Mack PW. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaking Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 all my novas chokes loosen up. Not after 4 or 5 rounds but about every 50 rounds or so. I fixed that by buying a set of extended carlson choke tubes. They don't back out at all and they improve patterning. check them out. http://www.choketube.com novaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
