    please note that modern freeze sprays are bloody flammable, they used to be CFC based, nowadays its pretty much LPG !

    Back in the day years ago before I went to Oz and actually went shooting in the rain etc, I heard horror stories about stuck chokes, rusted in etc.
    Being the good fitter I thought I was I came up with the cunning plan to use a light smear of copper coat on the choke.
    Works a treat, its slightly greasy, transfers onto the next choke a bit and I'm not worried about the choke coming undone as there is always a little grab on the thread.
    its been in there for 20 years now in some horrid weather and many hundreds of shots through it so I will keep doing so.

    I live in fear of the "stuck choke" disease so my Trap Gun is stored minus chokes. The choke in my 870 however is un-removable so there it shall stay

    Not wanting to thread hijack, but who actually bothers changing chokes. I think I’ve moved mine twice on two different guns. Duck gun has imp cyl in it, and only comes out to be cleaned, never run anything different. Then again, I’m a pretty rubbish duck shooter...

    Generally I agree. I don't swap willy nilly but I swap from the tighter choke I used when I was shooting rabbits with lead shot to the one I use with steel for ducks

    I keep a 1/2 in the semi, no matter what, don't even know if it will come out.
    U/O gets changed a bit, from skeet/skeet to 1/4 and full depending on shooting.
    I am also shit at shooting ducks, I like the fuckers sitting still and not to far away.

    1/4 winchoke for first hour of the day and the last hour....also for tight spot jumpshooting...the imp mod 3/4 goes in for geese,middle of the day and any time I think shots maybe longer. they both work well and truth be known I could leave either in and be happy.... it does make a difference and birds in close get cut up with tighter choke.

    LM and Skeet in my trap gun although sometimes full and extra full but I shoot neither better or worser with either setup.
    1/4 and 1/4 in my 20g "hunting gun"
    and 1/2 in my Rem 870 cause thats whats stuck in it,

    Shoot about the same with all of em.

    Auto 5 is full choke barrelled and my favourite field gun by far. Such a pitty it cant take steel. I havnt changed the 3/4 in the extreema since I got it. The only gun I regularly change chokes in is my o/u for skeet and dtl, as I tried skeet once with 3/4 and full and didnt go so well.
