Knocker loose from the receiver end down the barrel to the choke. for about 2 days, 4 or 5 times a day. then warm it up in the stove with ambient heat instead of direct heat from a torch or flame. This will keep from messing up the bluing. then put some Channel Lock 420's on it while the barrel is cloth wrapped in a vice and still hot. Should turn right out.

Shoot it a few times to heat up the barrel.

This little dude has helped me and a couple friends remove the gnarliest of stuck chokes. If you happen to be close any time soon, I'll loan it to you and even help get it out. (But I'm not mailing to Canada)

Basically, I soaked barrel tip upside down in a pill bottle of KROIL for a couple days. Wrapped barrel in a towel and stuck in a vice. Put breaker bar and big socket on the tool and put a couple hundred lbs of weight on it. Ease it out, but let the barrel cool as you go, so you don't twist it.

It works like a champ, but don't expect to use the old choke again. Also recommend some thread lube for the next one.

ETA: I had tried everything imaginable before buying it. It was my last resort. Some of the other techniques of freezing and/or heating did absolutely nothing for me. And I'm in no way related to Rick
