Stuck Choke help!

[Vabirddog]

Now there's a good idea.  Put the choke in a vice and spin the barrel.  That will give you a good two fisted grip. 

This is what i did with a similarly stuck ckoke. Would not budge, soaked with pb blaster,  no movement. took old golf grip wrapped choke, stuck in vise tighter even than i wanted too but it finally came out. was a rem. extended choke. Cleaned , replaced, checked shot. Still hunting it. Good luck

It will come out just be patient. Check it when you get back if it won't budge let it soak a  couple more weeks.

Well, after soaking in Kroil for over 3 weeks, I attempted to remove the choke.  And it was a cluster-f@#$!! Put the barrel in the vice and clamped vice grips on the tube and well . . .  ripped the barrel apart!   

Split over an inch down from the bore.  I threw a temper tantrum and threw the barrel and screwed it up even more.

I'm currently looking for a replacement barrel.  Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!

Look like your all ready turning into a Raging Cajun.

OK So now, what exact barrel are you looking for? Try ebay, auction arms. and Gunbroker .  Too late to soak in brake fluid but that is some good stuff for stuck parts. Your threads were most likely cross threaded as well. Sounds like a really full temper tantrum out of the way.  etc.

Nothing fancy, just a 26 - 28 inch barrel.  I missed one on ebay a couple weeks ago that went for $100.  I'll probably build it to be a backup turkey gun or one my boys can use when they get older.

I was reading through this and hoping it would have a better outcome as I just got a sx2 off a guy for a decent deal till I got it home and realized the tube was stuck. I broke a few choke wrenches already and took it to a small local gunsmith. I called him yesterday and he said he broke his tool he usually uses and was in the process of making another. Mine soaked for a week in pb blaster before taking it to him. Man I hate how it may turn out.

I still like the brake fluid soak for choke removals, but not less than overnight minimum.

That is tough when you have a stuck choke.

I'd encourage you to call John Mann @ Mann & Son Sporting Goods (Since 1946) 618.357.2911, ask for John and tell him what you have. I have seen him work miracles on flush mounted chokes as well as the easier extended ones. It would be worth your call.

Thanks,
