Unless your skeet shooting a lot of rounds is choke tube lube really needed?  I've always just used remoil but that doesn't mean that's the best method.

I have never used it and I shoot at a lot of geese in a day. I do clean my gun the minute I walk in the door it never sits so I'm sure that helps.

I would say unless you clean after every outing probably not, but if your like me and hunt every chance you get rain and all yes to keep the tube from rusting that's just my opinion tho.

I always lube my chokes, but I hunt ducks in the saltwater a lot where a rusted in choke tube is real possibility so it's just become part of my gun matinence routine.  However, I don't use anything specially marketed as choke lube, I use marine trailer bearing grease.

Always lube the chokes, why you want take a chance on having a stuck choke....you spend money on buying a gun and you don't want to lube the choke...lol.....

Ya don't need it unless ya do and then it's too late. 

I lube mine just to be safe.

Remoil is a lubricant. Just asking whether choke lube is necessary for all guns/chokes or moreso for just skeet (or saltwater) applications. Im familiar with an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

 I always use anti seize on all of my chokes regardless how long it'll be before I change tubes out. I've seen several guys with very nice guns and a choke locked up in it! It sucks. I'm not even sure if one guy ever got one out of his 11-87. It's standard procedure for me actually as soon as I finish polishing or cleaning a barrel I wipe the old stuff out and apply new.

My chokes always come out by hand pressuer even after a day of blasting geese or ducks.
