Carlson's Choke Tubes 11635 Cremator 11635 12 Gauge Mid-Range Non-Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Cremator 12 gauge mid-range choke tube is a non-ported, fixed-constriction option built from 17-4 stainless steel — engineered for shooters who want reliable, durable performance without the complexity of ported designs. Whether you're hitting clay targets, hunting waterfowl, or running scenarios at the range, a quality mid-range choke is the workhorse of any shotgun battery. This tube delivers the steel and precision Carlson's is known for, with materials chosen to resist corrosion and handle repeated use without losing fit or function.

Non-ported chokes offer a straightforward advantage: no gas escape ports means less muzzle blast signature and no noise concerns about port alignment or cleaning. That makes the Cremator a solid choice for shooters who prefer traditional choke design or those shooting in tight quarters where sound management matters. The 17-4 stainless construction ensures durability through seasons of use — it won't corrode, and it won't let you down when accuracy counts.

Carlson's has built a reputation on precision-engineered chokes and tubes that fit tight and shoot true. The Cremator carries that standard into a mid-range constriction that balances shot pellet density with pattern spread — useful across a range of shotgun sports and hunting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotgun is this choke tube compatible with?

The Carlson's Cremator Model 11635 is designed for Remington Rem Choke-threaded shotguns. Confirm your shotgun's choke system before purchase.

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

Non-ported chokes like the Cremator have no gas escape holes. They produce slightly more recoil and muzzle blast but offer a cleaner, simpler design with less maintenance. Some shooters prefer them for traditional handling and reduced signature in confined shooting environments.

What does mid-range constriction mean?

Mid-range constriction sits in the middle of the spectrum — not as tight as full choke, not as open as improved cylinder. It delivers a balanced pattern suitable for a variety of shotgun sports and hunting scenarios where you need reasonable pellet density without extreme tightness.

What's included with the choke tube?

You receive the choke tube itself. Installation requires a choke tube wrench (typically included with your shotgun or purchased separately) and basic familiarity with your shotgun's choke system.
