Just got done trying to remove the choke after a 48 hour soak.  :bash:  I am going to buy the wrench now, and if that doenst work off to a new barrell.  Thanks for the input guys, if I had paid attention to the choke this would have never happend.  Lesson Learned :twocents:

If loosening with the wrench does not work, try tightening it...re-soak and then loosen....

Not trying to thread jack my own thread but...  I stripped the paint down to bare metal, due to some salt water exposure every weekend hunting the salt during waterfowl season.  I bought some birchwood bluing, and for some reason it only works on my internal parts.  The external parts it doensnt seem to hold.  I have tried putting on 10 coats of it and have only wasted my time.  Anybody have any ideas on how to get the bluing to work on the external parts?

polish the metal.

wash it in hot water.......getting the metal temp up is important.

spray it with 409, it acts as a surfactant and keeps the streaks to a minimum

wipe on the bluing and polish it back.

repeat as necessary.

I have never tried that brand, but the brownells works pretty good. having a clean and oil free start is important. if you are hunting around saltwater, I would suggest cerakote. get the air cure version and follow the direestions. it will take a week and a day to dry (seriously) but it is the best for salt protection.

Thanks for the input High country :tup:  I will probably just tape it for the rest of the month, due to coyote hunting, and will try again in March when I leave the island and pursue cougars with my 223.  :tup:

I would do as I suggested for bluing first....or it will rust.

Seth, get after the choke with a heat gun, not a torch....once the kroil is smoking try the wrench. The last option is to cut it out on the lathe or mill.

i haven't had a whole lot of luck re-bluing either.  i redid the side of my wingmaster and it looks OK until i use it in wet weather and it starts turning kind of a greenish patina.  might just have to get a cheap clunker for duck hunting.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

If you want to have a great blue look into rust bluing. It is something anyone with patience can do and do it cheaply.

Soak it for about a week in break free or some penetrating liquid.  If that will not get it to break loose, go to a pharmacy.  Ask for mint oil..  they will ask you why you want it, since it is poisonous.  Explain it is for breaking loose rusted threads... they will sell it to you, but it is not cheap.  put like 4 drops on the choke and let the mint oil get pulled into the threads.  Let it sit over night.  It should come free with some help.

Holler at me if you still need help.  I have managed to get some nasty chokes out of barrels.... sometimes the choke has to be replaced, but it is out.. 
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Heard of wintergreen oil for that application, not actual mint oil. Let me know how this works. I know wintergreen makes a whole hangar smell nice when we get important things seizing up and don't wanna cut.
