Just been reading some old post from 2015 and was alarmed at what I read about the TruGlo SSX tube.Many people had these tubes to seize up in the barrel and needed a pipe wrench to get the tubes to unscrew from the barrel and then no tubes would screw back in.I have a Mossberg 935 and bought the SSX choke tube recently and after reading these post I'm afraid to use it in my barrel.Can anyone shed some lite on this subject and has this problem been taken care of?Thanks for the reply soon.

Used the SSX in my 835 last season and it performed flawlessly!! (Knock on wood).  By far the best pattern I've ever shot.  I shoot the 3 1/2in #6 LB's

I've shot SSX's in my 12 and 20 and haven't had a problem with either one. I use a dab of breech plug grease on my choke tubes to keep them from seizing up.

Wrangler I've been using mine in my 935 since the long beards hit the market....I take it out regularly with absolutely no problem and it comes out with little effort!   Plus to me I've got some great patterns with it!!  God bless

Patterned it again this past Saturday temps in the low 60s


30 yards 6 shot 2 oz 315 inside 10inch circle.


40 yards 6 shot 2 oz 274 inside 10inch circle. (Pulled it alittle to the right)

X3. Any synthetic grease will be just as good. I never had a problem. Knock on wood. Insert the tube and reap the benefits!

 I bought one for my 870 and it screwed in real hard. I put a little grease on it, but it didn't make a difference. I never shot it and sent it back. That is the only choke that I have ever had trouble with.

No problems in either my 835, or my 20 ga. Turkey Thug,
Never had a choke pattern better in either gun!

Those chokes shoot very well through those Mossbergs!

Picked up a SSX this weekend for my Mossberg 835 turkey thug and patterned it with 3" #6 LB XR.

It threw a pattern at about 17 yards the size of a soft ball. At 43 yards it still threw a great pattern with no gaps. If one gets within 40 yards it's in real trouble. Put the red dot on the neck....BOOM.

If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

I have had one on my 535 for 5 years now. No problems, take it our after shooting and clean the barrel. I leave mine out of the  barrel and store it seperately. Just put a little grease on it , insert it and repeat. Patterns great with Heavy shot Mag Blend 3 1/2". I also polished the barrel which helps a lot.
