How Do You Install A Shotgun Choke Tube?
Shotgun choke tubes are used to select the type of pattern that will be produced from the shot leaving the barrel of the shotgun. Tubes are made of steel and are either blued to match the finish of the gun or left unfinished. The tube’s inside design, either a small or larger opening, determines the amount of spread to the fired shot. Hunters use tubes to control the shot in various conditions and for different hunting and shooting situations. Step 1 Thoroughly wipe the choke tube with a clean towel or rag. Remove all debris and dirt that could interfere with the threading of the tube. Step 2 Apply a small amount of tube lube to the threads of the choke tube. This will not only help with threading and inserting the tube into the barrel of the gun but also keep the tube from freezing or becoming stuck in the barrel. Step 3 Wipe the threads on the inside of the shotgun barrel with a clean rag or cloth to remove any residue, debris or even dirt. This may also affect the threading of a tub
