Carlson's Choke Tubes 07360 Delta Waterfowl Extended Choke 12 Gauge Mid-Range Long Range 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Delta Waterfowl Extended Choke Tube for 12 gauge shotguns is built for waterfowl hunters who demand denser, more consistent patterns at mid-range and long-range distances. Machined from 17-4 stainless steel, this extended choke tube features a 25% longer parallel section than conventional designs, giving you the tighter shot grouping and pattern reliability that matter when ducks and geese are working your decoys. Whether you're hunting over water or in fields, this tube delivers the performance edge serious waterfowl hunters expect.

The knurled end makes quick changes in the blind or at the truck effortless—no tools required. Each tube is laser-marked with constriction and gauge information on both the end and body, so you know exactly what you're running at a glance. The extended design is the result of Carlson's decades of choke tube engineering, and it shows in the density and uniformity of your patterns downrange.

Steel shot compatibility is a major advantage for waterfowl applications. You can run steel loads through this tube with confidence, as long as you respect the velocity and pellet size limits for your specific constriction (see FAQs below). This versatility means you're not locked into one load type or hunting scenario—you can adapt to conditions and regulations without swapping gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot steel shot through this 12 gauge choke tube?

Yes. Steel shot is approved for use through the Delta Waterfowl Extended Choke Tube. However, load selection matters: with the Long-Range constriction, do not use steel shot larger than BB or loads exceeding 1550 FPS. For larger steel pellets or faster loads, use the Mid-Range constriction instead.

What's the difference between the Mid-Range and Long-Range versions?

The Long-Range constriction throws tighter patterns for distant birds but has stricter limits on steel shot size and velocity (BB or smaller, under 1550 FPS). The Mid-Range constriction handles heavier steel loads and larger pellets, making it the safer choice if you're using premium magnum steel loads.

How do I remove this choke tube?

The knurled (textured) end allows you to unscrew and remove the tube by hand—no special tool or wrench is needed. This makes field swaps quick and convenient.

How do I know which constriction I have?

The constriction and gauge are laser-marked directly on both the end and body of the tube, so identification is immediate and permanent.
