Interesting pieces and great wood work! I just scrubbed out two chokes for my 28ga that for some reason gets wad fowling when using certain wads in my reloads. Got to the point I soaked them in acetone for a bit before hitting them with a bore brush chucked in a drill bit. Thinking of treating them with Eezox to see what happens.

 

Those look nice.

I've used Shooters Choice Shotgun and Choke Tube cleaner (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000C529...sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_15&amp=&crid=28VKZZ7PRO90O&amp=&sprefix=shooters+choice). Takes the plastic fouling out no problem, but it smells pretty bad. I guess anything that dissolves plastic will. My choke tubes are as shiny now as they were when new.

 

That’s nice work….and the pelican…..nice touch.
Shoot well

Thank you. It’s my logo and my state bird.

 

That's some very nice work! Congratulations.
Personally, I clean choke tubes the same way I do fouled chambers/barrels: Cut some strands off of a Frontier Big 45 pad and wrap them around a brass bore brush, then chuck the brush up in a cordless drill ........reams the garbage right out.

 

I’ve decided to sell some of these If anyone is interested.

I chuck up a bronze bore brush (mounted on a 4" extension) in my drill press which is then set to it's highest speed. Flood the choke tube with Ed's Red and let 'er rip.
The tube gets really hot in about 8 seconds, so I made a wooden holder.
Takes about 20 seconds to completely clean the ID of the tube. (I think the heat helps soften the plastic buildup.)

 

Shooters Choice Shotgun and Choke Tube Cleaner: Shotgun and Choke Tube Cleaner

 

I bought one of these from MTBKN. It is very effective. It feels good in the hand and the edge carves carbon build up right out of a choke tubes. The design allows you to get good leverage. It kind feels like coring an apple. It fits in my shooting bag a cleans the inside of a tube in a few seconds with no large tools or chemicals. If I am in my garage I use this tool and then touch it up with a 18Volt drill with a wire brush. Cleans em up good.

 

I have one of the choke scraper tools. Like it. I use it to get heavily plastic-coated chokes scraped before a final bronze brush cleaning. For the brush, I use it attached to a short cleaning rod on a variable speed drill. Works quickly and does a great job. Bore snakes don't clean chokes. Brass brushes, some solvent and a drill, make the chokes shine like new.

 

I also got one of the scrapers and like it. Before that with steel chokes I used a biodegradable brake cleaner and a wire brush chucked up in a drill.

 

I drop them in a container of K1 kerosene while I clean the gun then brush them out, also drop in gas piston if cleaning a S/A and clean with a brush

 

I take them out and soak them in a jar of Hoppes overnight.

 

I'll take a walnut on, PM sent

 

Slip 2000

 

I second this.

 

I could use this. I’ve had some trouble getting my subgauge tubes back in sometimes after shooting 12ga because the carbon on the chokes…. Money coming your way.

 

I soak them in carburetor cleaner while I clean the rest of the shotgun. For really dirty chokes, soak them overnight and brush them out the next day. Works well. Good luck.

 

Brake cleaner and 30 seconds with a brass brush

 

 

I would like to buy one, but I cannot seem to message you

 

The site rules say you need a number of legit posts to use the messaging system. In the meantime I'll see what it would cost to ship to Canada. Ive never sent one that far up north.

 

I have used Shooter's Choice and then an old fixed blade knife if the crud is thick and baked on

 

Sounds like the Shooter's Choice product is effective. May try it.

 

Take the work out of it. Spraying the inside of barrels using Shooters Choice Shotgun and Choke Tube Cleaner, followed by swabbing it out is quick and easy. I have NO plastic residue in any of my barrels.

 

My choke tubes typically get a plastic build-up on them from the wads which takes some amount of elbow grease to remove. That stuff just doesn't seem to build-up in the barrels. After cleaning the barrels I'll remove the choke tubes for a more thorough scrubbing with brushes and solvent until the plastic fouling is all gone. While I'm at it I'll clean the threads, reapply grease to them and seat them tightly back in the barrel.
