Remington 870 Tips & Tricks #3: The Care and Feeding of Choke Tubes:
Dusting a case of clays is an enjoyable and relaxing way to pass a beautiful January afternoon. If you neglect your firearm however, that afternoon could take a turn for the frustrating.
In this video, I'll go over proper cleaning and lubrication of screw-in choke tubes, and give some tips for speeding up cleaning, safe handling of lead residue, tool-less installation & removal of choke tubes, and how to use a paste lubricant to pre-lube the threads for easy switching in the field.
It's finally done! The "lost" 870 T&T # 3 video fell victim to hardware failure back in January, and the final render of the video and most of its constituent files could not be recovered. I have re-shot the missing video, re-wrote and re-recorded the voice-over, and re-assembled the piece.
I recommend watching this video with the annotations turned on. I'll be adding various notes to provide further details, or answer questions you might have. I've tried to keep them unobtrusive; no giant flags blocking the video, no begging for subscriptions or likes.
Your Remington 870 owner's manual lists the steps for taking down and cleaning of the rest of the gun. It really isn't that complicated, and the 870 does not require an obsessive amount of cleaning. For a video showing details, I recommend watching Patriot36's demonstration:
Part 1: • Remington 870 Full Cle...
Part 2: • Remington 870 Full Cle...
My cleaning method isn't quite the same as his; I use some different products and tools, and tend not to lubricate as heavily, but I also use my gun differently. The truth is, everyone tends to develop their own personal cleaning practices, depending on their situation. It's fine to use different methods or products; but I would still recommend his videos because he shows very clearly and simply how to take the gun down, and which parts need attention during a full clean.
This continues my series of how-to videos with the Remington 870 shotgun. There are a number of other topics I have planned for future videos, but it's a fluid list. I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have for video topics. If it's something that I feel has already been thoroughly covered, I may point you elsewhere, but if it's an interesting and feasible idea, I'll add it to the list.
If you have any questions about this video, please ask in the comments below. Like many things in life, guns can be dangerous if used improperly, so make sure you understand what you're doing before you work on yours. If you're uncomfortable trying anything you see here yourself; please get assistance.
I'd also appreciate any comments on the format of this series; things you liked, things you didn't like, things you'd like to see done differently, etc. I'm still playing around with styles and programs, figuring out what works, what works well, and what doesn't work at all, so any input would help me out.
