Choke problems

Well, picked up the new (to me) shotgun the other week. Went
shooting a few clays with a mate, all going well. Thought I
would chop and change the chokes (set came with the gun) after a
few shots both the mate an I went off abit. Then we Happened to
notice something funny down the barrel.
It seems some of the shot had turned the choke up on itself! Now
I had definitely tightened the choke enough but somehow it seems
a bit of the plastic wad had got under the choke an in turn
caught a bit of the shot as it left the barrel. Now I'm
greatfull the end of the barrel didn't get blown off and in turn
part of my head. Is it possible that I had been given the wrong
choke with the gun but it was still able to thread into the
barrel okay?
Any advice (just a bit of knowledge before I go back to the
dealer)

Its not something you want to get wrong id take it straight back
a few diff types of chokes are compatible with different brands
of guns but usually if its the wrong choke you would really have
to force it in
Even if it was the wrong choke its still the dealers fault if he
supplied it

What type of chokes are they and what type of choke key did you
use to tighten them up?

the choke could have worked its way loose and that caused the
problem. are u sure it was tight before you started to shoot?

I was using the fabarm key that came with them and the gun. It
was the half choke, I only realised after is the only one of the
chokes that was labelled to say what size it was. So it that the
clue it didn't belong in the group. Yep def tightened up as I
was concerned about that from what I had read about chokes.
Shells were lead I believe.
If I ever get time off work, I'll head to the dealer. Hopefully
he'll keep me right.
