Carlson's Choke Tubes 11517 Cremator 11517 12 Gauge Long Range Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Cremator 12 gauge long range ported choke tube is purpose-built for waterfowl hunters who demand tighter, more consistent patterns downrange. Built from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel and manufactured in the USA, this extended choke delivers the density and reliability serious duck and goose hunters expect. The long range constriction pairs with Carlson's Triple Shot Technology (TST)—a series of three graduated rings in the taper section—to manage the transition from bore to constriction more smoothly, reducing pellet deformation and the fliers that cost you birds.

The ported design helps manage recoil impulse, making extended shooting sessions more manageable. Like all Cremator tubes, this model accepts steel shot in any size without speed restrictions, so you can load the ammunition your situation demands. The extended parallel section is 25% longer than standard tubes, contributing to those denser patterns while also protecting your muzzle and simplifying field swaps—no wrench needed for installation or removal.

Whether you're working a morning flight or settling in for an afternoon push, the Cremator long range tube keeps your pattern tight where it counts. Carlson's backs every choke with a lifetime warranty, and the precision machining from stainless steel means this tube will outlast many shotguns.

Yes. The Cremator long range tube has no size or speed restrictions with steel shot, so you can use it with any steel load your shotgun and local regulations allow.

Do I need tools to install or remove this choke?

No. The Cremator is designed for wrench-less installation and removal, so you can swap it in the field without carrying extra gear.

What does the ported design do?

The ported configuration helps reduce felt recoil impulse, making the shooting experience more comfortable during long days on the water without sacrificing pattern performance.
