for all the modern 870 and 1100 16ga shooters out there:
the cheapo stamped steel piece of sh** that rem calls a choke tube wrench can now go in the trash Twisted Evil

a browning invector plus 12 ga t-handle wrench will fit in rems 16ga tubes, a tad tight, but it does work Very Happy

just passing along a public service message for all the "big green" owners out there.

"remington country, it's where we are afraid of success"

The Browning 20 ga. T- handle fits the 16 invector tubes fairly well. It will seat in about 1/2 my skeet tubes, and won't work at all in the cylinder tube, but it's fine in the IC and tighter tubes. I heated the plastic fingers in some olive oil heated to 150 degrees. this softened them enough to spread them so they grab the inside of the tube well. I then dunked them in cool water to make them set. I was careful not to over heat and melt them.

I plan to make a new t wrench out of a piece of stainless tube and a stainless rod for the handle and the bits, unless Browning gets off its butt and makes a t handle for the 16 too..

Briley makes a nice 16 gauge choke tube wrench for a reasonable price. I have one and like it.

For us lo-budget rednecks, a quarter and a Crescent wrench will take even a rusty one out. Sometimes the coin bends but one good swat from a 3 lb. hammer will return it to original shape. Never forget to clean and oil threads at every opportunity and then you only need the quarter Very Happy

Every Redneck I've ever known, including yours truely, should come equipped with a crescent wrench, a vise grips, one combination slot/phillips screwdriver, a copperhead pocket knife, a desent wood saw, and a 3 lb ball peen hammer. given these five tools, we can make anything else worth having.

Hey, 16GG, don't forget the duct tape and the baling wire.

That is for patching up and using up all the worn out stuff we've already made. Wink
