How do you adjust a Polychoke II?


Recommended Posts

I did some searching here but nothing did me any good...

 

I took my converted saiga-12 out to the range for the first time today, ever. I started drilling and cutting before I ever shot it! Anyway, I finally got it out to the range, over a year after buying it. A couple of FTE's due to me not setting the gas setting right, but that was an easy fix. The problem I did have was not being able to get the Polychoke to budge!

 

How do you get it to move? Do you have to remove that external spring, clamp, whatever it is? Does it take a pipe wrench and a vice or should it move by hand? I put a box of shells through it but did so slowly enough (range rules) that it never heated up much. Is that the key?

the polychoke comes in 2 pieces, cranked clockwise looking into the barrel all the way you should be at X-full, turn the end as you look down the barrel counter clockwise into whatever position you need.

 

You should be able to turn it by hand, though it can be tight. the spring around the outside should not need removal.
