Stuck Choke

[Huntbear]

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.

You are correct... my bad, was thinking wintergreen, typed mint every blasted time....

No worries, thought that maybe it was like wintergreen only more better. I was shocked the first time I heard about using it.

Hey guys, tell me more about wintergreen oil.... whats the deal?

[wraithen]

It's one of those "if all else fails to penetrate and get this bolt unstuck, use this stuff" kinds of things. I've never actually seen it work though  I've just seen it used in an attempt to miracle stuck metal apart. I've heard it works wonders but I guess the cases I've seen were hopeless to begin with

Learn something new every day.... Wiki claims; Wintergreen is particularly effective for breaking through sea water corrosion.

Im done spending money on gun oils that are sussposed to do that, so I will get this wintergreen and give it one last shot.  Do I need to heat the barrel with the wintergreen?

Once again thanks for the tips and help, I know many new ways of removing chokes

Add the heat to the kroil, that causes a capilary action that will pull the stuff into the threads. Just be sure to stop when it starts to smoke so you don't release the rib.
