Carlson's Choke Tubes 11617 Cremator 11617 12 Gauge Long Range Non-Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Cremator 12 gauge long-range choke tube is built for shooters serious about consistent, tight patterns at distance. This non-ported model uses Carlson's Triple Shot Technology—a system of three graduated rings in the parallel section that creates a smoother transition from your shotgun bore to the final constriction. That engineering pays off in real terms: reduced pellet deformation, a tighter shot string, and fewer flyers downrange. Whether you're hunting waterfowl, upland game, or running clay courses, the Cremator delivers the density and consistency you need when range matters.

Like all extended choke tubes, the Cremator's 25% longer parallel section promotes tighter, denser patterns than standard tubes—a meaningful advantage when you're stretching your effective range. The non-ported design keeps things simple and reliable, with no gas ports to complicate cleaning or maintenance. Installation is wrench-less and fast; removal is just as quick, and the extended profile offers muzzle protection when your shotgun is slung or cased.

Built from premium 17-4 stainless steel and finished in matte black, the Cremator is engineered to last. The tube pairs seamlessly with modern premium ammunition, letting you get the most from every round. Whether you're dialing in for next season or upgrading your existing choke arsenal, this is a serious long-range option backed by proven Carlson's quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between ported and non-ported choke tubes?

The Cremator non-ported model has no gas ports in the tube. This design is straightforward and reliable, with minimal moving parts or complex features. Ported versions are also available if you prefer that configuration, but this non-ported variant is the cleaner, simpler choice.

How does Triple Shot Technology improve pattern density?

The three graduated rings in the parallel section create a gradual, gentle transition from your shotgun bore to the final constriction. This reduces pellet deformation, shortens the shot string, and minimizes flyers—all of which result in tighter, more consistent patterns at distance.

Is this choke tube suitable for long-range hunting?

Yes. The Cremator is specifically designed for long-range applications. The extended parallel section and Triple Shot Technology work together to deliver the tight, dense patterns you need when shooting at distance, making it an ideal choice for waterfowl, upland, and clay shooting at extended ranges.

Does installation require special tools?

No. The Cremator is wrench-less to install and quick to remove, so you can swap chokes in the field without needing extra equipment.
