stuck shot gun choke

[land 1]

Any tips or tricks in getting a stuck choke tube out of shotgun , choke has been my 870 for lots of years and i cant budge it....

One thing to try is get a can of Kroil penetrating oil spay and  let it sit and work .

Penetrating oil as mentioned above is good for starters. Heat will get help them loosen, don't use a torch, a hair dryer works best. There are also choke removal tools made for stuck chokes.

Kroil or a good industrial strength penetrating oil and let it soak. you may have to jeapordize the choke to get it out. If that doesnt work, add a low amount of heat to the barrel and not so much the choke. Your choke has expanded from shots.

This video should help you out. Good luck.

Kroil  is a true miracle worker for freeing up heat stressed and rusty bolts . Also works to keep rust off tools in the garage. I run a spirits of that in all my air tools also.

thks guys will give it a shot waiting on new choke wrench now bent the old one that came with gun

FWIW, some mechanics say a 50:50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is superior to Kroil.

wasnt pretty but got it with out damaging barrel choke is toast tho, long story short slightly moved it with  choke tool i got but both tool and choke stripped and tool would not grip, so found a chisel just about 12 ga size tapped it down and that bit into walls of choke and was able to unscrew it . I did soak it in penetrating oil 3 days also

Did that mess up the threading on the barrel ? 

[land 1]

no on most remington guns the threading is at the bottom of the choke , not right at the end of the barrell, only drove the the chisel down maybe  1/2 -3/4 of an inch,an the chisel never mad contact with barrel either just the choke
