What do you suggest for choke tubes?

[Hovannes]

I mean to keep them from seizing? Oil or grease? I have some mica spark plug anti seize compound or aircraft engines and I can't imagine a more hostile environment so I was wondering if it would be of value on the choke tubes on my new Lanber?

I use any old grease, and have had no problems.
I tend to just loosen and re-tighten them when I clean the barrels, and take them out (one at a time so I don't get confused) and clean about every 10th cleaning.
I clean a shotgun every time I use it - that's the way my dad taught me!!

Thanks for the info Buffy, I've just got a shotgun and was wondering what to use.

Bushdog, good to hear you clean your gun after use, I do the same can't bear to think a gun has gone in the cabinet dirty, that includes my rimfires too.

Chokes get stuck commonly in guns that are poorly cared for where they can get rusted in, or where over zealously tightened and rarely changed.

Regular gun oil will suffice, or grease. Take your chokes out and clean them every time you break out the rods, a light wipe of oil into the threads, finger tighten and you are good. Sage words from my local gunsmith when I was a lad, never had any problems since.

My Lanber gets a bore snake and wipe down every time fired, with a proper rod and brush out and oil down every 150 shells or if storing for longer periods. If your gun gets wet you should always give it a through drying, clean and oil, including chokes and threads.
