Jdhonda810 29 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hey guys. Sorry if this is a dumb question...maybe I am lacking the proper full knowledge on this matter. I have a polychoke II and just got rid of the "breecher" style attachment on the end and traded it for a flash hider attachment. I hadn't fired ANY rounds out of it at ALL b4 i traded the attachments as well. Well I went and fired it w.o. the attachment on this weekend a few times. Maybe only put 30 rounds through it. Just a couple quick trigger pulls and that's it. I fired w.o. the attachment because I was waiting on the flash hider to get here. So now it's here and I went to put it on my polychoke and the son of a bitch wont screw onto the "fingers" part of the choke. Is this something I just need to put a little more elbow grease into and man up or is this a big problem? The attachment is brand new and I have tried putting some slight muscle into pushing it down to lock into the threads but it jut won't seem to go on. Do I need to push harder? LOL, just figured I ask b4 I do so and mess it up for real. I would appreciate any information on this I can get. Thank you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jdhonda810 29 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 How's about a pic of the parts so we can see what you're talking about? ^^ Brand new flash hider attachment for the above polychoke. Like I mentioned before, it won't go on the polychoke like it's meant to. Unless I'm just not pushing down on the flash hider enough to get it on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks tool, I appreciate the quick response. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrmallek 53 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) not too long ago, I was out shooting trap with a buddy who brought out his old Sears Roebuck pump that has an old poly on it and he was having some other issues with lock up and we didn't notice the choke had loosened and got blown off while he was struggling to just to chamber the 10 rounds for that station. Anyway, he shot a few with it off and we, luckily, found the top half in the field. It did not want to go right on - I compressed the collets by hand a little and was able to get it threaded back on. I think an important point to make is to be careful not to cross-thread it. this will definitely mess things up. a trick I use is to line up the threads and actually start spinning counter clockwise (backwards on a RH thread) you can feel the pieces align and the click will tell you when the starting threads are lined up. Good luck and happy shooting. [ETA] I checked the constriction with a t-gauge and micrometer when we got back to my house and, though worn out, all the settings worked as they were designed. I mean we're talking about steel, right? if it warps or bends - bend it back. Edited February 16, 2011 by mark mallek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
