ZAFER-CHOKE® CODES (DEFINITION) |
To identify ZAFER-CHOKE® tubes, use the
identification mark(s) located on the top rim of
each tube. These notches are a code to allow you to
determine the choke designation while the tube is
installed.

ZAFER-CHOKE® TUBE SELECTION |
|
To help you choose the correct choke tube for each
hunting situation, all ZAFER-CHOKE® tubes are
inscribed on the side with the patterns they produce
with lead shot. The notches on the rim and pattern
designation on the side are only for lead shot. For
steel shot you will need to use the cart below to
cross-reference from lead to steel and determine
appropriate tubes for your ammunition and hunting/shooting
situation. Since steel shot generally patterns
tighter than conventional lead shot loads, it would
be wise to avoid the use of steel shot altogether in
conventionally choked "FULL CHOKE" barrels. "MODIFIED
CHOKE" barrels generally deliver "FULL CHOKE"
patterns when used with steel shot. |

INSTALLATION OF CHOKE TUBES |
WARNING: Check the firearm is unloaded. If not,
unload the firearm by operating as described in the
chapter "Unloading the shotgun".
WARNING: Never look into the muzzle or change tubes
on a loaded gun, even with safety engaged.
1. Apply a thin coat of gun oil to the threads of
the barrels and of the choke tubes.
2. Insert the desired chokes into the choke housings.

WARNINGS |
1. WARNING: Never shoot choke barrels without using
choke tubes. Shooting without choke tubes is very
dangerous as debris could be trapped by the threads
and create barrel obstructions. This situation is
very dangerous when firing and may cause damage to
the shotgun and serious injury to the shooter and
bystanders. It may also cause erratic shot pattern
and can damage the barrel's internal screw thread
irreparably.
2. WARNING: Choke tubes must be kept correctly
tightened in the barrels at all times, even during
storage and cleaning. Cleaning barrels with no choke
tubes in place can push dirt into the barrel threads,
causing improper choke installation, rusting, or
barrel obstruction.
3. WARNING: Periodically check, with the unloaded
and opened chambers, whether the chokes are fully
and tightly set into the barrel. If necessary,
firmly tighten the chokes, using the ZAFER choke
tube wrench, until they can be tighten no more. This
tightening is needed to avoid damage to the barrels
and to avoid propelling the chokes out of the muzzle
when the gun is fired, which may cause damage to the
gun or injury to persons. |
