Close range choke tubes like the Cremator excel when birds are coming in tight—think jump-shooting ducks, flushed quail, or decoy work where you're not waiting for distant shots. The stainless construction resists corrosion from waterfowl environments and rough handling in the field, so you'll get years of reliable service without worrying about surface degradation or stuck tubes.

Designed for Browning Invector Plus shotguns, this choke slides easily into compatible barrels and seats positively for safe, repeatable performance. Whether you're setting up a dedicated close-range gun or swapping tubes to match changing conditions on a hunt, the Carlson's Cremator gives you a solid, no-nonsense option backed by one of the industry's most respected choke tube manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns does this choke tube fit?

The Carlson's Cremator 11623 is designed for Browning Invector Plus shotguns. Always verify your shotgun's choke system before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

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

Non-ported tubes, like the Cremator, deliver consistent performance without the small holes that porting uses to manage recoil and muzzle rise. Many hunters prefer the simplicity and proven reliability of non-ported designs for close range work.

Why is stainless steel used for choke tubes?

17-4 stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, which is critical for shotgun tubes exposed to moisture, saltwater, or humid conditions. It also handles repeated cleaning and swapping without wear or damage to the seat.

When would I use a close range choke tube?

Close range chokes excel for jump-shooting, decoy setups, driven hunts, and upland work where birds are flushed or coming in close. They produce tighter patterns than open tubes at moderate distances, giving you more reliable hits on incoming or nearby targets.
