Are you a serious shotgun enthusiast, hunter, or competitive shooter constantly seeking to optimize your firearm's performance? Do you struggle with inconsistent shot patterns, unwanted flyers, or simply desire a more effective and reliable choke tube for your 12 gauge Browning Invector DS shotgun? Look no further than the Carlson's Cremator Non-Ported Choke Tube, a premium accessory meticulously engineered to transform your shooting experience. This isn't just another choke tube; it's a precision instrument designed to give you the edge in the field or on the range, ensuring denser patterns and a more focused shot string with every pull of the trigger.

Why Choke Tubes Matter: The Foundation of Shotgun Accuracy

Before diving into the specifics of the Cremator, it's essential to understand the critical role a choke tube plays in shotgun ballistics. A choke tube is a constricted device inserted into the muzzle end of a shotgun barrel, designed to shape and control the spread of the shot as it exits the barrel. Without a choke, shot pellets would disperse too quickly, leading to ineffective patterns at even short distances. By narrowing the barrel's opening just before the shot exits, a choke tube effectively "squeezes" the shot, resulting in a tighter, more uniform pattern at a given range.

The choice of choke tube directly impacts your shotgun's effective range, pattern density, and overall versatility. Different constrictions (like Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Mid Range) are suited for various applications, from close-range skeet shooting to long-range waterfowl hunting. Selecting the right choke for your specific needs is paramount to achieving consistent hits and maximizing the ethical take of game or breaking more clay targets.

Introducing the Carlson's Cremator Non-Ported Choke Tube: Precision Engineering for Peak Performance

The Carlson's Cremator Non-Ported Choke Tube represents the pinnacle of choke tube innovation. Specifically designed for 12 gauge shotguns utilizing the Browning Invector DS system, this Mid Range constriction choke (.725" diameter) is crafted to deliver exceptional performance in a variety of shooting scenarios. It's the ideal choice for shooters who demand reliability, durability, and superior patterning without the additional noise or gas redirection associated with ported chokes.

The Unmatched Durability of 17-4 Heat-Treated Stainless Steel

When considering shotgun accessories, material quality is non-negotiable, especially for components subjected to intense forces like choke tubes. Many choke tubes on the market are manufactured from inferior materials that can corrode, wear down, or even deform over time, leading to inconsistent performance and a shortened lifespan. Carlson's takes a different approach, crafting their Cremator choke tubes from the finest 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel available.

What does 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel mean for you?

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: This alloy provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, even when exposed to harsh outdoor elements, moisture, and the corrosive byproducts of ammunition. This ensures your choke tube maintains its integrity and appearance for years to come.
• Exceptional Strength and Durability: The heat-treatment process enhances the steel's hardness and strength, making the choke tube highly resistant to wear, deformation, and damage from repeated firing. It can withstand the immense pressures generated by shotgun loads, providing consistent performance shot after shot.
• Long-Term Reliability: Unlike cheaper alternatives that might degrade over time, a Carlson's choke tube made from 17-4 stainless steel offers unwavering reliability, maintaining its precise internal dimensions and constriction for a lifetime of shooting. This means you can trust your choke to perform identically, whether it's your first shot or your thousandth.

The Revolutionary Triple Shot Technology (TST) Explained

At the heart of the Carlson's Cremator Non-Ported Choke Tube's superior performance lies its innovative Triple Shot Technology (TST). TST is not just a marketing term; it's a meticulously engineered design feature that directly addresses common issues like pellet deformation and inconsistent patterns.

How does Triple Shot Technology work?

TST incorporates a series of three graduated rings strategically placed within the parallel section of the choke. This unique design creates a more gradual, controlled transition for the shot column as it moves from the shotgun bore into the final constriction of the choke.

The benefits of TST are significant and tangible for the shooter:

1. Reduced Pellet Deformation: As the shot travels down the barrel and enters the choke, abrupt changes in diameter can crush or deform the softer outer pellets in the shot column. TST's gradual transition minimizes this "mashing" effect, preserving the spherical integrity of more pellets. Intact, round pellets fly truer and are less affected by air resistance, contributing to tighter, more uniform patterns.
2. Shortened Shot String: A "shot string" refers to the length of the pellet column as it travels through the air. A shorter shot string means more pellets arrive at the target simultaneously, increasing the density of the pattern at the point of impact. TST's design helps to keep the pellet column more compact and cohesive, delivering maximum energy to your target.
3. Fewer Flyers: "Flyers" are individual pellets that stray significantly from the main pattern, often due to deformation or erratic trajectories. By reducing pellet deformation and promoting a more controlled shot transition, TST dramatically reduces the number of flyers, ensuring a higher percentage of your pellets contribute to the effective pattern.
4. Superior Pattern Uniformity: The ultimate goal of a choke tube is to deliver a consistent, dense, and evenly distributed pattern. TST achieves this by optimizing the flow of the shot, resulting in patterns that are not only tighter but also more uniform, with fewer holes or thin spots. This translates directly to more reliable hits and fewer missed opportunities.

The Advantages of a Non-Ported Design

While some shooters prefer ported choke tubes for recoil reduction and muzzle rise control, the Carlson's Cremator is specifically designed as a non-ported model. This design choice offers distinct advantages for many users and applications:

• Reduced Muzzle Blast and Noise: Ported chokes vent gases upwards and sideways, which can increase perceived muzzle blast and noise for the shooter and those nearby. A non-ported design directs all gases forward, resulting in a quieter shooting experience.
• Cleaner Operation: Porting can lead to gas blowback and residue accumulating on the barrel or forearm of the shotgun. Non-ported chokes keep the gas directed cleanly downrange, leading to less fouling on your firearm.
• Stealth in Hunting Situations: For hunters, a quieter shot can be beneficial, especially when ethical considerations around disturbing wildlife or other hunters are a factor.
• Compliance with Specific Regulations: In some competitive shooting disciplines or hunting areas, ported barrels or chokes may be restricted or prohibited. A non-ported choke ensures compliance.
• Classic Aesthetics: The smooth, matte black finish of the non-ported Cremator maintains the classic, clean lines of your shotgun.

Practical Applications: Where the Mid Range Cremator Shines

The Mid Range constriction (.725" diameter) of this Carlson's Cremator Choke Tube makes it an incredibly versatile choice for a wide array of shooting activities. Its design is engineered to perform excellently with both lead and modern non-toxic shot types, making it suitable for diverse hunting and sporting demands.

Hunting Scenarios:

• Upland Bird Hunting: For species like pheasant, grouse, quail, and partridge, which are often flushed at variable distances, a Mid Range choke provides an excellent balance of pattern density and spread. It offers a forgiving pattern for closer shots while still delivering enough concentration for birds at 30-40 yards.
• Waterfowl Hunting: While often thought of as requiring tighter chokes, a Mid Range can be highly effective for decoying ducks and geese at typical ranges (20-40 yards), especially when using modern steel, bismuth, or tungsten shot. Its ability to preserve pellet integrity with TST is particularly beneficial with harder non-toxic loads. For longer shots, a tighter choke might be needed, but the Mid Range is a fantastic all-around option for most waterfowling scenarios.
• Small Game Hunting: Ideal for rabbits, squirrels, and other small game where the engagement distances are varied and a versatile pattern is desired.

Clay Target Shooting:

• Sporting Clays: The unpredictable nature of sporting clays targets, which mimic various hunting scenarios, makes the Mid Range choke a popular choice for many shooters. It offers the flexibility to engage targets at varying distances with a single choke, reducing the need for constant tube changes.
• Trap Shooting: While many trap shooters opt for Full or Extra Full chokes, a Mid Range can be surprisingly effective for closer targets or for shooters who prefer a slightly more open pattern for quick follow-up shots.
• Skeet Shooting: While generally using more open chokes like Skeet or Improved Cylinder, a Mid Range can still be used, especially if you're practicing for longer shots or working on specific stations.

The versatility of the Mid Range constriction, combined with the pattern-enhancing benefits of TST, ensures that this Carlson's Cremator choke tube is a valuable addition to any shotgunner's kit, capable of adapting to changing conditions and delivering consistent results.
