Carlsons 52261 Remington Flush Choke Tube 12ga Improved Cylinder

The Carlsons 52261 Remington flush choke tube in 12-gauge Improved Cylinder is a straightforward replacement for Remington Rem Choke shotguns. Built from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, this tube is engineered to handle steel, lead, and Hevi-Shot ammunition across its constriction range—making it a practical choice for hunters who like to keep one gun ready for multiple seasons and shot types. The flush-mount design sits cleanly with your barrel's profile, giving you an unobstructed sight picture and clean lines whether you're hunting waterfowl, upland game, or running clay courses.

Improved Cylinder chokes deliver a wider, more open shot pattern than tighter constrictions, ideal for close-range bird hunting or situations where you need quick, effective coverage without over-constriction. If you're running a Remington shotgun and want the peace of mind that comes with a proven American-made choke built to last, this is a solid, no-nonsense part.

Carlsons backs this tube with a lifetime warranty, and it's manufactured in the USA. When selecting ammunition, keep in mind that steel shot larger than #BB or velocities exceeding 1550 fps should not be used in chokes tighter than full—a standard industry guideline that applies across their lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this choke work with my Remington shotgun?

This tube is designed for Remington Rem Choke shotguns. If your gun has Remington's factory choke threading, this Carlsons flush-mount tube will fit properly.

Can I use steel shot in this choke?

Yes, steel shot is permitted. However, steel shot larger than #BB or traveling faster than 1550 fps should not be used in chokes tighter than full constriction. Since this is an Improved Cylinder (relatively open), you have good latitude with steel loads within those limits.

What ammunition types are compatible?

This tube handles steel shot, lead shot, and Hevi-Shot ammunition within the guidelines noted for velocity and pellet size.

Is this a flush or extended choke?

This is a flush-mount design, meaning it sits level with the end of your barrel for a clean appearance and unimpeded sight line.
