What choke tube wrenches are available for Browning 16 gauge Invectors? Just these flat types?

Thanks,
Jeff

Not much help here; the flat multi-gauge wrench is all I've ever seen for 16 gauge Invectors. Alas, I've only owned two Invector guns, woe is me.

Spent hulls have always worked for me, splitting hairs the next gauge down seems to work best, 20ga hull = 16ga tube wrench, 12ga hull = 10ga wrench etc... Crack the tube loose with the hull head flange then the creased plastic hull mouth inserted in the choke tube makes a convenient handle to twist the tube in or out, lock it in with the flange, good to go...

I have a browning cast steel keychain style choke wrench, which has a black oxide finish. Found it on eBay several years ago. Not sure which guns they might have been originally shipped with though. It’s probably 1 1/2” long and has the key head perpendicular to the handle. I think they are not that common..

Looks like this in 16ga:

I have used them for years. Briley sent one with the thin wall chokes for my 1100. They make swapping flush chokes very easy but I would suggest buying 2 because if you get even slightly rough with this wrench the 4 little ears are very easily damaged. I'm not saying there junk but you have to pay attention to detail and make sure the little tabs are seated in the tab holed firm or the tab corners round off easy.

Yes, my Briley- choked guns came with that wrench. They work fine.

Thanks for the replies. I hardly ever change chokes, but nice to have a wrench.

You probably should occasionally pull the screw-in chokes from the gun as part of your cleaning regimen. Chokes can corrode into place and then you'll be posting questions about removing a stuck choke. Before installing my screw-in chokes I take a Q-Tip and put a light coat of 3-M anti-seize on the barrel threads and choke tube threads. A lot of folks use just regular grease successfully, but the anti-seize looks to be the best solution to me, considering the heat involved.
