CARE & CLEANING: The precision threads on your choke tube should be kept clean and lightly
oiled at all times.
During cleaning of the barrel, be certain a choke tube is properly installed. This will avoid residue
build-up on threads.
Extra-Full choke tubes are not recommended for use with buckshot or slugs.
The “Improved Cylinder” choke tube will usually produce the best accuracy with most slugs.
