Hey guys! This is my first post on here, but I've been following for quite a while now. You guys are very knowledgeable and I'm wondering if someone can help me! I just purchased a new h&r 1871 survivor single shot that shoots both 45 colt and 410. The manual is absolutely no help to me and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the shotgun choke out of the barrel so I can shoot the 45! I was hoping someone has this gun and can help me out! Thanks
h&r 1871 45colt/410 help please!

It probably turns the other way.
(My Circuit Judge does that.)

sorry couldn't resist. Yea you need a key (or something that engages the notches in the choke- Location

Nope, I looked into it and it seems (from watching how people screw it in in videos) that the tube turns the regular way. The Rossi Circuit Judge does have a reverse, or left-handed, or anti-clockwise, thread; your H&R Survivor does not.
You bought this new, un-fired, and complete? The choke key should be in the box. If not, start by contacting the store where you got it and see if they neglected to include it, then contacting the manufacturer to see if they'll send you one. I'm sure you can improvise a tool if you need to.
With the tool in hand, if it's not un-screwing to the left you can try several things: a generous helping of penetrating oil, clamp it down and use a lever to turn the wrench, turn it a bit in the tightening direction to break mechanical lock, warm the outside of the muzzle, maybe freeze the whole barrel first then warm the threads…
I found a quote on another site:
‘Oh yea, be SURE to take the choke tube out of the barrel before firing ANY kind of solid projectile! Cuz if you don't, you'll never get it out at all!’
Could this be what you did? Come back and say something!
