I once had a slight bit of corrosion in the barrel of a Browning Citori from leaving my tubes in for an extended period of time. I suspect some moisture got it there. I got the corrosion polished out by Kolar who's tubes were in. If you leave them in, I would strongly recommend taking them out, cleaning, and light oiling. Billy

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.

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.

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!
