For shooters who demand precision, durability, and versatility from their firearms, the Carlson's Remington Flush Mount Choke Tube in Modified constriction (SKU: 52262, UPC: 723189522629) stands out as an indispensable accessory. This isn't just another choke tube; it's a meticulously engineered component designed to unlock your shotgun's full potential, ensuring superior shot patterns and enhanced performance across a wide array of shooting disciplines. Available at DEGuns, this choke tube represents a significant step forward in shotgun optimization.

Why a Choke Tube Matters: The Core of Shotgun Performance

Before diving into the specifics of this exceptional Carlson's choke, it's essential to understand the fundamental 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 control the spread of shot as it leaves the bore. Without a choke, shot patterns would spread too rapidly, leading to inconsistent hits, reduced effective range, and wasted pellets. By precisely constricting the shot column, a choke tube can influence how tight or open your pattern will be at various distances, directly impacting your accuracy and success in the field or on the range.

For both seasoned hunters and competitive shooters, selecting the right choke is paramount. It can mean the difference between a clean kill or a missed opportunity, a perfect score or a frustrating round. The challenge often lies in finding a choke that offers the right balance of spread and density for diverse scenarios, especially when dealing with modern, high-performance ammunition. This is precisely where the Carlson's Modified Choke excels.

The Carlson's Advantage: Unparalleled Quality and Engineering

Carlson's has long been synonymous with excellence in shotgun choke tube manufacturing. Their reputation isn't built on chance, but on a relentless commitment to quality materials, precision engineering, and understanding the needs of serious shooters. The Carlson's Remington Flush Mount Modified Choke Tube (SKU: 52262) embodies this philosophy, setting a new standard for performance and reliability.

Crafted from 17-4 PH Stainless Steel: Durability Redefined
One of the most significant advantages of Carlson's choke tubes, including this 12 gauge Modified model, is their construction from 17-4 PH stainless steel. For those wondering about material science, 17-4 PH is a precipitation-hardened martensitic stainless steel renowned for its exceptional strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. In the demanding environment of a shotgun barrel, where extreme pressures, temperatures, and abrasive shot loads are commonplace, such a robust material is not merely a luxury but a necessity.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Unlike many standard steels, 17-4 PH offers outstanding resistance to rust and degradation, even when exposed to harsh weather conditions, moisture, or the corrosive residues of shotgun powders. This ensures a longer lifespan for your choke tube and maintains consistent performance over years of use.
• Unrivaled Durability: The inherent strength of 17-4 PH stainless steel allows Carlson's chokes to withstand the intense forces generated by modern shotshells, including high-velocity, heavy buffered loads, and crucially, lead-free alternatives like steel shot, bismuth, or tungsten matrix. For hunters mandated to use lead-free ammunition, this choke provides the confidence that your equipment can handle the task without fear of damage or premature wear.
• Consistent Performance: The precision machining of 17-4 PH steel results in a choke tube with exact internal dimensions and a smooth, uniform bore. This consistency is critical for producing predictable and tight shot patterns, shot after shot, season after season.

By choosing a Carlson's choke, you're not just buying a piece of metal; you're investing in a component forged from one of the finest corrosion-resistant materials available, specifically designed to outperform and outlast other competitive brands.

Understanding the Modified Constriction: Your All-Around Performer

The "Modified" constriction is arguably one of the most popular and versatile choke choices for shotgunners worldwide. With a .710" diameter for 12 gauge shotguns, it strikes a perfect balance between pattern density and spread, making it an excellent "do-it-all" option.

When to Choose a Modified Choke (.710" Diameter):

• Upland Game Hunting: If you're pursuing pheasants, grouse, quail, doves, or rabbits, a Modified choke is often the ideal choice. It provides a dense enough pattern for clean kills at medium ranges (typically 25-40 yards), while still offering enough spread to account for flushing birds or moving targets in varied terrain.
• Waterfowl Hunting (Closer Ranges): While tighter chokes are common for long-range waterfowl, a Modified can be highly effective for decoying ducks or geese at closer to medium distances, especially when using modern steel shot loads. Its ability to maintain pattern integrity with lead-free alternatives makes it a responsible and effective choice.
• Sporting Clays: Many sporting clays enthusiasts consider the Modified choke their go-to for a significant portion of the course. Its versatility allows it to effectively engage a wide range of targets, from quartering away birds to incoming targets, making it an excellent all-around choice for this dynamic shooting sport. It's an excellent option for those just getting into sporting clays or looking for a single choke to handle most presentations.
• Trap Shooting: For trap shooters, especially those on the 16-yard line, a Modified choke can provide excellent results, offering a dense enough pattern for consistent breaks on rising targets.
• General Purpose Shooting: If you own a Remington shotgun and are looking for a single choke tube that can handle a variety of shooting scenarios—from plinking to casual hunting or range days—the Modified constriction offers unmatched adaptability. It's the answer to the question, "What's the best general-purpose choke for my 12 gauge?"

The .710" diameter of this Carlson's Modified choke ensures that your shot column is precisely compressed to deliver consistent, effective patterns, whether you're breaking clays or bagging game.

Flush Mount Design: Seamless Integration and Practical Advantages

The Carlson's Remington Choke (SKU: 52262) features a "Flush Mount" design, meaning it sits flush with the end of your shotgun barrel when installed. This design offers several practical benefits for the discerning shooter:

• Sleek Aesthetics: The flush design provides a clean, uninterrupted profile to your shotgun barrel, maintaining the firearm's original aesthetics.
• No Snags: Without any portion protruding from the muzzle, flush mount chokes eliminate the risk of snagging on clothing, branches, or gun cases, making them ideal for field use.
• Protection: By sitting flush, the choke tube is less exposed to accidental impacts, offering better protection against damage compared to extended choke tubes in certain situations.
• Compactness: Maintains the overall compact length of your shotgun, which can be advantageous in tight quarters or for storage.

For shooters who prioritize a streamlined look and snag-free operation, the flush mount design is an attractive and practical feature.

Extensive Compatibility: Designed for Popular Remington Choke Shotguns

One of the key considerations when purchasing a choke tube is compatibility. The Carlson's Remington Flush Mount Choke (UPC: 723189522629) is specifically engineered to fit shotguns that utilize the "Remington Choke" system. This widespread system is found on many popular shotgun models, making this Carlson's choke a highly sought-after accessory for a broad spectrum of shooters.

This choke tube is compatible with, but not limited to, the following shotgun models:

• Remington 870: A legendary pump-action shotgun, widely used for hunting, sport shooting, and law enforcement. The Carlson's Modified choke significantly enhances its versatility.
• Remington 887: A durable, synthetic-stocked pump-action shotgun.
• Remington 11-87: A popular semi-automatic shotgun known for its reliability and smooth operation.
• Remington 1100: A classic semi-automatic shotgun, prized by many shooters.
• Chiappa Triple Crown: A unique three-barrel shotgun.
• Chiappa Triple Threat: Another innovative multi-barrel shotgun from Chiappa.

If you own any of these models, or any other shotgun designed to accept the Remington Choke system, this Carlson's 12 Gauge Flush Mount Modified Choke Tube will be a perfect fit, instantly upgrading your firearm's patterning capabilities. We recommend verifying your shotgun's choke system before purchase if you are unsure.

Optimizing Your Shotgun: Beyond the Basics

Investing in a high-quality choke tube like the Carlson's Modified is a crucial step towards optimizing your shotgun's performance. However, true optimization also involves understanding how to get the most out of your new accessory.

• Patterning Your Shotgun: The most important step after installing any new choke tube is to pattern your shotgun. This involves shooting various loads at different distances on a large paper target to see how your shot spreads. This process allows you to visually confirm your pattern density and understand your effective range with specific ammunition and the Carlson's Modified choke. This data-driven approach helps you truly master your shotgun.
• Ammunition Selection: Experiment with different brands and types of ammunition. Even with a superb choke like the Carlson's Modified, different loads can produce slightly different patterns. Find the combination that works best for your specific needs and the game or targets you pursue.
• Proper Maintenance: To ensure the longevity and consistent performance of your Carlson's choke tube, regular cleaning is essential. After each shooting session, remove the choke, clean the threads in both the choke and the barrel, and apply a thin layer of choke tube grease or anti-seize compound. This prevents seizing and makes future removal and installation easy.

By focusing on these elements, combined with the superior construction of the Carlson's Modified Choke, you are not just buying a product, but investing in a comprehensive solution for improved shooting outcomes.
