Dudleys Diary

Dudleys new barrel and extended tactical choke for his Remington 870 Tactical Pump Shotgun. The barrel had a modified choke tube installed and luckily Frank had found his choke wrench for his Browning BPS Pump Shotgun the other day when he cleaned out his room. He removed the modified choke tube and we replaced it with the extended tactical choke using Dudleys new strap wrench. But let me tell the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say. After removing the modified choke tube, Dudley held the barrel and put his pinky finger in to feel the threads cut back inside the barrel. Frank then decided to check it for himself and he proceeded to stick his much larger pinky finger into the end of the barrel. He then tried to pull his finger back out and found his finger was hopelessly stuck and was not going to come out! Dudley was laughing his ass off by this time and Frank asked what am I going to do? Dudley then offered that he could go to the ER and they could cut his finger off as long as they did not do any damage to my new barrel. Frank did not like that plan so Dudley told him to go get the can of Rem Oil out of the gun cleaning supplies. He did so and Dudley sprayed a liberal dose of oil down the open end of the barrel. Dudley then told Frank to hold the barrel straight up with his free hand to allow the oil to flow down the barrel to the offending pinky finger. After about a full minute of Dudley laughing at Franks predicament, he told him to go ahead and try to pull the barrel off of his finger. He gave it a good pull and his finger popped out of the muzzle end of the barrel none the worse for wear. Dudley should have taken a picture, it would have made good blog fodder.
