Rob Roberts Chokes

[Devlin]

I have a Benelli SBE II Performance Shop Waterfowl shotgun, they come with chokes from Rob Roberts, lately my chokes have been shooting loose more than they did in the past so I reached out to the guys at Rob Roberts....and got this response for what to do.

I think I'll try a bit of anti-seize grease first....

Rob,

It is very common for the chokes to loosen up after a few rounds. It has
to do with the tolerance difference between the barrel and the chokes.
We build our chokes within 1 thousandths of factory specs but factory
can vary up too 5 thousandths. My personal gun was the same way and I
went to the middle of the threads in my barrel and made a dent about
middle ways in the threads. Not a huge dent to where you can't screw the
choke back in but just enough it has some resistances so you wont have
the problem of chokes coming loose so often.

Good call on the anti-seize grease. I sure wouldn't be trying the thread denting fix.

I use my Briley grease on my Beretta Optima chokes to keep them firmly seated. Anti-seize grease should do the same.

Putting dents in a choke tube to keep it seated? Yikes.

Yeah I just about sh1t a gold brick when I saw the reply to just bang em up a little to take the slack out.... Bloody ridiculous.

That's definitely not Rob giving that advice. He knows his stuff and I've dealt with him awhile. Friends down south are good buddies and they swear by his stuff. We've run his chokes a few seasons now.

Difference too is most factory screw in chokes have notches for a choke wrench and you almost torque it in and they never move. And most extended chokes guys just screw them in hand tight. It obviously won't be as tight as using a choke wrench
