Key word here is "occasionally":rolleyes:

Is Kevin talking about full length sub-gauge tubes or screw-in choke tubes? I cannot tell by his original post.

I have a set of full length 410 tubes with screw in chokes for a 20 Parker. When they are out of the gun I store them in a sock in the safe. Never had a problem.

He can hunt with a Fox because it doesn't matter if he beats up the gun, they're not pieces of art anyway. If he wants to hook-up with winners, he needs to shoot Parkers. Plenty of Parker shooters, that's what we do. Just sayin'. :corn:

I keep a skim of oil on screw choke threads, and the same skim on full length tubes and the bore they go in. I have never has any rust in the bores or on the chokes in more than forty years of using them in many different guns. I leave tubes in some guns and take them out of others, same result, no rust. If I shoot in the rain, I remove the tubes for cleaning of the bores and the tubes. No fuss, no muss.

Have they legalized marijuana in Springville, PA?:banghead: Someone is delusional.:bigbye:

I am glad I provide such opportunity for fun!!!!!
It is a set of full length tubes, 28ga with screw in chokes for my 16ga. Thanks for the feedback all!
