Loose choke on 870?

[Gunner4life]

I took my 870 express tactical out trap shooting last week and after every 5 or so rounds I had to tighten the choke because it had come loose.

Does this happen to anyone else? Or is it just me?

Shooting Federal Target Loads out of a full cylinder choke (probably not the best choice for trap shooting)

get your brass wire brush in there and give the threads a good scrub and then wipe them out.. could be getting filled up with residue .. my mossberg 930 used to do that

i put a small amount of lock tight on mine

Rgr that, after the threads are clean of course!

Can't say that's happened with mine, but the loctite suggestion sounds like a pretty good idea.
