Never fire your Thompson/Center Shotgun, which has been designed to acceptinternal choke tubes, WITHOUT A CHOKE TUBE INSTALLED. Thiswill result in damage to the threads in the barrel and could render your shotguninoperable with regards to using the internal screw-in choke tubes.2. The threads of your T/C choke tubes should be kept clean and lightly lubedat all times. When installing the choke tube into the barrel, make sure the muzzleis pointed away from you, in a safe direction, and never “force” the choketube into the barrel. If the tube does not screw-in easily, the threads in the barrelor tube could be clogged, or you could be cross-threading the parts. Thechoke tube should screw in easily by hand. Use the wrench provided to tightenit until snug, but DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN IT AS IT COULD DAM-AGE THE TUBE.T/C Choke Wrench12 GA.BARRELChokeTube3.
