+1 for anti sieze.

I use Shooters Choice Choke Tube Lube.

Basically its an anti-sieze compund but it is red so you know where ya put it.

I used to use regualr gun oil, but after having a stubborn choke tube after a day of skeet, I went looking for something else. No problems ever since.

Cheers!

I use the same stuff ... after all it is designed to maintain the choke to barrel contact. I even put a little down the choke body to fill the choke barrel cavity thus eliminating choke flex.

The trick is to remove your chokes and lube on a regular basis. I do mine after every hunt as I clean the gun. Takes 2 seconds, and have never had a stuck tube..

Drill through and install a grease nipple in place of the front bead ..... one pump should do ....

I use BORE BUTTER for muzzleloaders it works great in my Stoeger 2000 choke threads, no issues and I've been using it for years.

If you are into muzzle loaders and have some Thompson Center's Bore Butter it'll do the trick too.

I have had a 1300 for about 15 years, when I was young and slightly less bright than i am know. The gun was used alot and after the regs for steel shot only for migratory birds came out i picked up a mod choke. Long story short I had to weld a piece of flatbar to the winchoke to get it out. Ever since a small dab of never seize once a year(at least)

definately go for an anti-seize grease. They make choke specific greases for a reason. They prevent gases from blowing through the threads (unlike oils), and won't eventually run out of the threads. I can't think of the name of my stuff right off hand, but it comes in a glue-stick style applicators. no fuss, no muss.

Either anti-seize or a high temperature grease (we have a thick synthetic grease that is designed for disk brake callipers)

Spined choke in a rifled gun.

Last week I got a 10" Thompson/Center Contenter in 45Colt/.410.

This is of course a rifled barrel and when you want to shoot .410 shot shells you screw in a splined choke tube. After two trips to the range the need for lube is clear. As the threads are exposed when the .45 Colt cartridges are fired a lube of some sort is needed to keep the powder crap from building up in the threads. When the choke is screwed in a good lube (lubriplate so far) is needed again as there is a gap that will force powder crap between the tube and the barrel and then into the threads.

One thing with the rifled barrel that is worth noting. If the choke is not tight to start with the torque of the shot shell will lock the choke in very hard. When the tube is tightened hard by hand first it comes out with about the same force as it went in.
