Carlson's Choke Tubes 11490 Cremator 11490 20 Gauge Mid-Range Long Range Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Cremator 11490 choke tubes deliver serious pattern density and consistency for 20-gauge waterfowl hunting. These ported, extended choke tubes come in mid-range and long-range constrictions, giving you the flexibility to match conditions throughout the season—whether you're working tight quarters in timber or reaching across open water. Built from 17-4 stainless steel and manufactured in the USA, they're engineered to handle everything steel shot will throw at them without size or speed restrictions.

What sets the Cremator apart is Carlson's Triple Shot Technology (TST): three graduated rings in the taper section create a smoother, more gradual transition from your bore to the final constriction. The result is less pellet deformation, fewer flyers, and the kind of dense, uniform patterns that turn marginal shots into clean kills. The ported design helps manage recoil, while the extended parallel section cranks up pattern tightness even further—real advantages when you're trying to anchor birds at distance or in heavier cover.

These tubes are built for convenience as much as performance. The wrench-less installation means you can swap constrictions in the field without tools, and quick removal keeps your muzzle protected when you're not shooting. Pair the right choke with your load, and you've got a setup that'll pattern consistently from early season through late-winter hunts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these choke tubes work with steel shot in my 20-gauge?

Yes. The Cremator 11490 has no size or speed restrictions with steel shot in either the mid-range or long-range constriction.

What's the difference between mid-range and long-range constrictions, and when would I use each?

Mid-range chokes work best for typical waterfowl distances and tighter cover, while long-range constrictions tighten your pattern further for birds at extended distances. The two-choke set lets you adapt to different hunting conditions and shot opportunities throughout the season.

Do I need tools to install or change these choke tubes?

No. The Cremator tubes feature wrench-less installation, so you can swap constrictions in the field without any tools.

What is Triple Shot Technology?

Triple Shot Technology (TST) uses three graduated rings in the taper section of the choke tube to create a smoother transition from your shotgun bore to the final constriction. This design reduces pellet deformation and flyers, resulting in denser, more uniform patterns.
