I've always been an oil guy but I think I need to start greasing my choke tube threads. What is the best grease for this application?
Thanks

Assuming this isn't spam to get 50 posts.....I typically just use Birchwood Casey "Sno" Universal grease. I try to keep my chokes as clean as possible, so if you don't clean your gun and chokes/ choke tube threads often you may require a higher quality more heavy duty grease.

No this is not a post to get 50. I thought about anti seize but what I got was muzzle loader breech grease. Didn't know if anyone else was using it on choke tubes. I wasn't aware of the birch wood stuff. So I don't k is the difference between sno grease and choke tube grease.

Buy some extended choke tubes. Then, set up your gun case so that you have to remove the choke(s) after your shoots, in order for the barrel to fit in the case. Then lube the choke threads with GI LSA oil, and get yourself a Tico Tool (hopefully a two-piece one) or a Boresnake and pull an oil (LSA) swab through the bore each time. Then wipe the exterior with one of your old t-shirts pretty much soaked in oil. You're ready for the next time.

Sounds like too much work, doesn't it. I do it to unwind after a shoot.

Grease won't hurt, but it's messier than oil
Grease is only needed where parts are bearing loads, a few drops of oil on CT threads are sufficient.
It's important to keep the threads clean, on the tube and in the barrel.
What makes you think you need grease as opposed to oil?
