Elevate Your Shotgun Performance: The Carlson's Full Choke Tube for Remington, Chiappa, and H&R Shotguns

For avid shotgun enthusiasts, whether pursuing the thrill of the hunt or striving for precision on the range, the consistency and quality of your shot pattern are paramount. Achieving optimal performance often hinges on one crucial component: the choke tube. Introducing the Carlson's Flush Mount Full Choke Tube, a meticulously engineered accessory designed to significantly enhance the capabilities of your 12-gauge Remington 870, 887, 11-87, 1100, Chiappa Triple Crown, Triple Threat, and H&R Excell Auto shotguns. This isn't just another accessory; it's an upgrade built to deliver tighter, more consistent shot patterns, giving you a distinct advantage in various shooting scenarios.

Unpacking the Core Problem: Why a Superior Choke Tube Matters

Many shotgun owners grapple with inconsistent patterns, limited effective range, or concerns about their existing choke tubes' durability, especially when using modern, high-performance ammunition like lead-free or heavy buffered shotshells. Factory-issued choke tubes, while functional, are often mass-produced and may not offer the precision or resilience required by serious shooters. This can lead to missed targets, wounded game, and overall frustration. The Carlson's Full Choke Tube addresses these critical challenges head-on, providing a reliable and robust solution that outperforms standard offerings.

Who Is This Choke Tube For? Solving Your Specific Shooting Needs

This Carlson's Flush Mount Full Choke Tube is an indispensable tool for a diverse group of shooters seeking to optimize their shotgun's performance:

• Serious Hunters: If you're targeting turkeys, waterfowl, or other game where dense, long-range patterns are essential for clean, ethical kills.
• Competitive Shooters: For disciplines like trap or sporting clays where specific stations demand a very tight pattern at longer distances.
• Shotgun Enthusiasts: Anyone looking to upgrade their shotgun's capabilities, maximize its effective range, and ensure pattern consistency with various ammunition types.
• Owners of Compatible Shotguns: Specifically designed for popular models like the Remington 870, Remington 887, Remington 11-87, Remington 1100, Chiappa Triple Crown, Chiappa Triple Threat, and H&R Excell Auto.
• Those Using Modern Ammunition: If you frequently shoot lead-free loads, steel shot, or heavy buffered shotshells and need a choke tube that can withstand the increased pressures and abrasion without compromising performance or longevity.

This choke tube provides the answer to questions such as: "What's the best choke for turkey hunting with my Remington 870?" or "How can I achieve tighter patterns with my 12-gauge shotgun at longer ranges?" It’s engineered to convert your shotgun into a more precise and reliable tool for your specific shooting objectives.

The Foundation of Excellence: 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Construction

At the heart of Carlson's reputation for quality lies their unwavering commitment to superior materials. This flush mount choke tube is meticulously crafted from 17-4 PH stainless steel, a material widely recognized as one of the finest corrosion-resistant alloys available in the industry. But what does this mean for you, the shooter?

• Unmatched Durability: 17-4 PH stainless steel boasts exceptional strength and hardness, making it highly resistant to wear and tear. This is particularly vital when dealing with the intense pressures and friction generated by modern shotshells, ensuring the choke tube maintains its precise dimensions and performance over countless shots.
• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Shotguns and their components are often exposed to harsh elements – rain, humidity, mud, and the corrosive byproducts of combustion. The advanced properties of 17-4 PH stainless steel provide outstanding resistance to rust and corrosion, preserving the choke tube's integrity and aesthetic appeal for years to come, even in the most demanding environments. This means less worry about maintenance and more time focusing on your shot.
• Reliability with All Loads: Unlike lesser materials that might warp or degrade under stress, Carlson's use of 17-4 PH stainless steel ensures that this choke tube stands up confidently to the rigors of lead-free loads (including steel shot) and heavy buffered shotshells. This is a critical advantage in an era where non-toxic shot regulations are increasingly common and where shooters often opt for heavier, denser loads for enhanced performance. You can shoot with confidence, knowing your choke tube can handle the ammunition you choose without compromise.

This material choice isn't just a specification; it's a testament to Carlson's dedication to producing choke tubes that not only perform exceptionally but also endure the test of time and the demands of serious shooting.

Understanding "Full" Constriction: Precision for Specific Applications

This choke tube features a "Full" constriction, designed to deliver the tightest shot pattern possible among common choke types. But what does "Full" mean for your shooting experience?

• Tighter Patterns: A full choke significantly constricts the shot column, keeping the pellets in a denser cluster for a longer distance. This results in a tighter, more concentrated pattern downrange.
• Extended Effective Range: By maintaining a tighter pattern, a full choke extends your effective killing or breaking range, making it ideal for shots at greater distances where pellet energy and density are crucial.
• Specific Hunting Scenarios:
  • Turkey Hunting: This is arguably the most common application for a full choke. For turkey hunting, a dense pattern is critical to ensure a clean head and neck shot at various ranges. A Carlson's Full choke can help you deliver the necessary pellet count on target for successful turkey hunts.
  • Waterfowl Hunting (Long Range): While modified or improved cylinder chokes are common for closer waterfowl, a full choke can be advantageous for pass shooting at high-flying ducks or geese at the absolute limits of your effective range, provided your ammunition is compatible and ethical considerations are met.
  • Deer Hunting (with Slugs): While primarily designed for shot, some hunters use full chokes with specific rifled slugs, though this is less common and requires careful load testing.
• Sporting Applications:
  • Long-Range Trap Shooting: For the longest shots in trap, a full choke can provide the necessary pattern density to consistently break targets.
  • Specific Sporting Clays Stations: While diverse, some sporting clays stations may present targets at extreme distances where a full choke might be beneficial for experienced shooters.

The .700" diameter of this specific full choke further refines its performance, contributing to the precise pellet control that Carlson's is known for. This meticulous engineering ensures that your shotgun consistently throws the tight, dense patterns you need for demanding shots.

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Chokes and Carlson's

Many shooters have questions when considering a full choke, especially one of this caliber. Here are answers to some common inquiries:

• "Can I shoot steel shot through this Carlson's Full Choke?" Yes, this Carlson's choke tube, made from 17-4 PH stainless steel, is designed to safely handle lead-free loads, including steel shot, which many standard full chokes cannot. However, always verify that your shotgun barrel itself is rated for steel shot, and ensure your shot size is compatible with the choke's constriction. Extremely large steel shot may not pattern well or could be unsafe in a full choke, so always refer to ammunition manufacturer guidelines.
• "How do I install a flush mount choke tube?" Installation is straightforward. Ensure your shotgun is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Using a Carlson's choke tube wrench (or a compatible universal wrench), simply screw the choke tube clockwise into the end of your shotgun barrel until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
• "How does a flush mount differ from an extended choke?" A flush mount choke, like this one, sits completely within the barrel, maintaining the original length of your shotgun. Extended chokes protrude beyond the muzzle, often making them easier to change by hand and providing a slight advantage in pattern development due to their longer internal taper. For many, the clean appearance and reduced snagging of a flush mount are preferred.
• "Is a full choke always the best choice for hunting?" Not always. While excellent for turkey and long-range waterfowl, a full choke can be too restrictive for closer-range shooting, such as upland birds over dogs or skeet shooting, where a wider, more forgiving pattern is desired. Matching the choke to the game, range, and ammunition is key.
• "How do I clean my Carlson's choke tube?" After each use, it's recommended to clean the choke tube to remove plastic fouling and powder residue. A brass brush and standard gun cleaning solvent work well. Regular cleaning will maintain its performance and longevity.

This premium Carlson's choke tube, along with a wide array of other shooting accessories, is readily available for discerning shooters at DEGuns, ensuring you have access to the finest components for your firearm.
