How to clean choke tubes

[rtr]

I have a filthy Benelli factory IC choke tube. Was thinking of putting it in the ultrasonic cleaner witih water and purple power, good idea or should I do something else?

Try it, shud be ok. I use simple green in mine.

good stiff brush on a drill cleans it quick or a nice acetone bath

Brake cleaner also works.

Same plastic wad gunk is in your shotgun barrel (maybe not as thick due to the choke tube constriction). Clean it the same way. Your favorite solvent and a brush. Avoid abrasion. I use Hoppes and a 12ga brass brush.

Oh, and grease the threads after cleaning.

_{I drop mine in my ultrasonic cleaner for about 5 minutes and it comes out sparkling.}

Leave the tube in the barrel, run a long rod with a bore brush wrapped with bronze/brass or stainless steel pot scrubber strands, attached to your cordless drill trhough the whole thing about 3 times and you're done. Warning, I work for Brownells and we sell the rod, 080-000-254, the brushes and stainess steel sponge 080-000-321. I haven't used solvents in my shotgun bore for several years. Quick, easy, no mess.

Throw them in with the walnut hull in your tumbler for a few hours, brush dust off, presto - clean !!

I use Shooters Choice MC #7, a brass brush, and a cordless drill on my choke tubes and barrel.

0000 steel wool wrapped around a drill bit works too
