Choke Thread Damage

[gcgriffi]

Question: Will firing a shotgun with the choke out damage the choke threads?

 

[FrankT]

It can especially with steel,buck or slugs

Educate me, please. Why would you want to fire a screw in choke gun without a choke? What are you trying to achieve?

 

[rossi]

YES! IT WILL!

 

[FLT]

Yes.

What Frank, Rossi and FLT said!!
Don’t do it!! If you want a more open choke, spend 20 bucks for a cylinder or spreader Choke tube.

Sure, it will be fine! Let me know if you can thread it in after?

I’ve seen people get away with it while using lead shot but that time that they don’t is a major problem.

Yep... and I would want to run a thread chaser afterwards.

Barrel is at its thinnest with the most energy. Not only could you damage the threads, you can split the barrel
