Anyone know how to remove a frozen choke tube? My sons extra full turkey choke is froze in the end of the barrel. Any advice?
thank you.
Kroil. Anti-seize is a good idea for prolonged shooting.

Its an extended choke, I have tried soaking it with BP Blaster. Can't budge it with the choke wrench.

There are several different kinds of wrench, before you damage it make sure your using the best one, probably a Benelli or Beretta, they have four contact points.
How about a strap wrench?

This.
Soak it in Kroil for a couple hours.
Then throw it in the freezer overnight, then quickly warm up the outer barrel with a heat gun and unscrew the tube before the heat transfers through to it.
Freezing it shrinks the tube and heating the barrel expands the barrel, gaining you a few ten-thousandths of tolerance between them.
Don't overdo the heat and anneal the barrel steel or burn the bluing off. Egg-frying heat is PLENTY.
