Choke oil?

[lord-humungous]

Stoeger 2000 manual says to oil the screw in choke. I figure they mean a few drops on the threads. What can I use that's in my garage? I don't see a trip to Lebaron's in the near future.

Any suggestions?

I just use generic gun oil. I'm sure any light oil could work in a pinch. Wd-40 should do. Just keep in mind that if the oil you use gums up or turns to crud youll need a bit of muscle to get it out, and maybe a tool of some type (choke wrench).

I just use CLP in mine...

I find the chokes in my Stoeger O/U really stiff.... IE hard to take out/put in...

So I take it you run all your guns dry with no lubrication. Just use whatever you got for gun oil on it. I just put a bit of CLP on mine and screwed it back in.

You could probably even use anti-seize compound if you didn't have any oil of any kind whatsoever.

get a drop from your car's dipstick

I'm sure any old oil would work. Gun lubrication isn't exactly rocket science.

Actually, anti-seize compound might be a good choice for this sort of thing.

X2. It's great stuff for guns that go out in the field in less than perfect weather.
The chokes never fail to unscrew when time comes for cleaning.

Hoppes 9 sells a good Choke Lube with teflon. Its a spray on and it works great.

there is a choke specific anti-seize compound, i've used oil/CLP in the past and now only use the choke specific stuff because of stuck chokes after a day of clays

I use either Lubriplate ( lithium based grease) or moly-Slip Molbdimum disulphide based grease) on my chokes.
Many gun manufacturers say to use oil, but oil will migrate where grease will not.
it's all very technical stuff (and when I hear engineers talking about that stuff I cringe), so I try to keep it simple - grease!

X2 Grease works best, Use it on your hinge pins and trunions too.

Ditto for grease... just a thin coat.

 

[zenmagic]

I coat it lightly with CLP and run a little Canadian Tire Anti-Seize grease crayon over the threads.

 

[sherlockbonez]

Does any grease work for it? I have some heavy machinery grease at home that I liberated from work.

I have a saying:

"Any grease is better than NO grease".

[ianthomson]

Never-seize or white lithium, both work like a dream.

 

[Boomer]

X2 on Cat's recommendation for Lubriplate, you can't beat that stuff.

 

[ben hunchak]

I use never-sneeze, seems to work good.

 

[notsorichguy]

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!
