Just got my indain creek choke in today and looking at it on the inside it looks like there are 5 steps inside the choke. i have never seen this in a choke before and i've bought a lot of chokes. Are your chokes like the one in the pic below or did i get an unfinished choke?

Are they the "wad strippers?"
I hope so.

they slow the wad letting your shot string out instead of your shot coming out in a mass. this will give you a better pattern
Your IC choke is fine! I have one for my Browning and one for my Beretta and they both look like that.
thanks thats all i need to know!! :z-guntootsmiley:
No do not shoot that choke tube. It came off the CNC to soon. Send it to me so I can finish it.
LOL JK. that is the way they come, the ridges strip the wad from the shot. :z-guntootsmiley:
I am convinced the folks at IC know what they are doing.
Check Indian Creek's web site. There are some Federal shells not recommended for this choke.
Somethings wrong better call IC lol
As stated those are the wad catchers and they do a really good job of slowing the wad and seperating the shot from the wad. Not all IC chokes have them. They do not put them in their larger ID chokes and you can special order a turkey choke without them. They will need extra care in cleaning as they collect plastic deposits after a few shots and become less effective. Scrub them good with a brass brush regularly.
Thanks for the insight on cleaning Skeeterbait. :agreed:
i have an indian creek as well and it is a great choke, but they can and do chew up the plastic. i generally clean mine every time i shoot it. meaning: i'll pattern the gun, clean it. kill a turkey, clean it. i also use some solvent to loosen the plastic, it gets packed in there pretty good. also, the federal flight controls did not fly with any control at all out of that tube, at least for me. and handful of rocks thrown by a six year old would've been a better pattern. just my $.02. hope you like that choke!
shooters choice and Butches work great on cleaning a choke. they both will seperate the plastic from the choke
