CHANGEABLE CHOKES
1. A few models are equipped
with interchangeable chokes and a
wrench to assemble and disassem
-
ble them (see figure). These cho-
kes can be identified by the not-
ches on their exposed ends. The
number of notches indicated on
each choke identifies that specific
constriction.. 1 notch = Full (1/1),
2 notches = IM (3/4), 3 notches =
M (1/2), 4 notches = I/C (1/4), 0
notches =Cylinder (0/0). [The No.
before each choke is not required].
WARNING
Before removing, inserting or
changing choke tubes, always
check to make sure that the shot-
gun is unloaded and the safety is
“ON”. Never position your head,
hands or face over the end of the barrel when changing choke tubes.
1.
To remove a choke tube, insert the metal end of the wrench into the
end of the barrel so that the four lugs of the wrench engage the matching
recesses on the top of the choke tube. Turn the wrench counter-clockwi
-
se to remove the choke tube. Take care not to drop the tube onto hard sur
-
faces.
2.
Before inserting a choke tube, be sure that its thread and the barrel
thread are clean of any type of dirt or grime. Make sure there is no visi
-
ble damage to the thin end of the tube that seats in the barrel; if there is
damage DO NOT USE. After these observations then insert it into the
muzzle with the threaded end first. Engage the wrench and turn it in a
clockwise direction to insert and tighten the choke tube until it seats
snugly and is flush with the end of the barrel
Do not use excessive pres
-
sure to tighten.
3.
If you encounter resistance in seating the choke tube, take it back out,
clean it thoroughly and clean the internal barrel threads with the nylon
thread-cleaning end of the wrench.
