Clear Super Lube or Lucas Gun Grease

 

copper paste grease for high and low temperatures.
Lubricant up to 1000 ° C. anti-grippant.
The best, but expensive

 

I use the greasy kind of grease.
Walmart has it fairly cheap ...cheep, cheep, cheep.

Seriously, it is only to prevent the threads from rusting together and there is little/no chance of it melting out of there or burning and having the chokes heat-rust in place.
I happen to have extended choke tubes, each time I put the gun together I check that they are free, then finger tighten them - done and done.
The only other thing is when I change them to/from skeet/full, again hand tightened.
They never get wiped off because I keep them in a fisherman's type tackle case, I don't wipe out the barrel threads either.

There is some engineering data around a truck forum somewhere on the tightening of threaded components and the extreme torque needed to squeeze out oils/greases - basically you just about strip the threads before you exceed the film strength.
Over tightening of threaded components is a sin I have committed SO MANY TIMES - - I'm in recovery now.

 

Tom Wilkinson, recommends oil for his chokes; however, I use Super Lube--I don't have any Wilkinson chokes

G96 syn. oil. Never had any issues, stay tight. Just have to remove them every now and again and clean and re oil. No big deal.

 

i use the Krieghoff grease for everything on my gun's

 

Red loctite..................keeps me from second guessing what chock I should put in

 

I use a common and relatively economical white lithium grease on the threads of my choke tubes. The tube states that it is resistant to high temperatures. I also use it on my O/U's hinge pins (trunnions).

 

Any Brand of Grease is ok, but I use Superlube because it does not stain my clothes. Makes the wife happy.
