Carlson's Choke Tubes 11565 Cremator 11565 12 Gauge Mid-Range Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Cremator 12 Gauge Mid-Range Ported Choke Tube is a precision-engineered choke built for shooters who demand tighter, more consistent patterns across a range of shotgun disciplines. This mid-range constriction delivers the density and uniformity waterfowl hunters need while remaining flexible enough for general upland and clay shooting. What sets the Cremator apart is Carlson's Triple Shot Technology (TST)—a series of three graduated rings in the taper section that create a smoother, more gradual transition from your shotgun bore to the final constriction, reducing pellet deformation and stray pellets.

Built from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel and ported for reduced recoil and muzzle blast, this tube extends 25% longer than standard chokes, giving you that extra parallel section for denser patterns. The ported design makes a real difference in comfort during a long day at the range or in the field—especially with heavier loads. Installation is straightforward and wrench-less, and removal is quick when you need to swap tubes. The mid-range constriction handles steel shot without size restrictions, making it practical for early- and late-season waterfowl hunting or anywhere steel is required.

Carlson's Cremator tubes are precision-machined in the U.S.A. and backed by a lifetime warranty, a reflection of the company's confidence in the design and build quality. Whether you're working on your waterfowl pattern, hunting upland birds, or fine-tuning your shotgun for a specific hunting scenario, the Cremator's balance of density, recoil reduction, and reliability makes it a solid choice for serious shotgun shooters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns are compatible with the Carlson's Cremator 12 Gauge choke tube?

The Carlson's Cremator is designed for standard 12 gauge shotguns. Verify your shotgun's choke tube system before purchasing to ensure compatibility with your specific model.

Can I use steel shot with this mid-range ported choke tube?

Yes. The mid-range constriction has no size or speed restrictions with steel shot, making it suitable for waterfowl hunting where steel is required.

What's the difference between the ported and non-ported versions?

The ported design (this model) vents gases to reduce recoil and muzzle blast, making it more comfortable during extended shooting. The non-ported version is a conventional tube without those ports.

What does Triple Shot Technology do?

Triple Shot Technology uses three graduated rings in the taper section to create a smoother transition from the shotgun bore to the final constriction, reducing pellet deformation and stray pellets for denser, more consistent patterns.
