Carlson's Choke Tubes 11492 Cremator 11492 20 Gauge Mid-Range Long Range Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Cremator 20 gauge choke tubes are a purpose-built pair for waterfowl hunters who need clean, consistent patterns across different ranges. This ported 17-4 stainless steel set includes mid-range and long-range constrictions, giving you the flexibility to match your load and distance without swapping barrels or compromising performance. Whether you're hunting early-season ducks in tight quarters or glassing a winter goose hole, the Cremator delivers the pattern density and reliability that separate confident shots from frustration.

The core innovation here is Carlson's Triple Shot Technology (TST)—a series of three graduated rings engineered into the taper section that create a gentler transition from your shotgun bore to final constriction. That gradual step-down reduces pellet deformation and flyers, tightening your pattern without the wild spots that wreck hunts. The extended parallel section adds 25% more length than standard tubes, further contributing to tighter, denser patterns downrange. And because these are ported, recoil management is real—especially valuable if you're running 3.5-inch loads or shooting all day.

Built from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel and made in the USA, the Cremators handle steel shot of any size across all constrictions, giving you total freedom with your ammunition selection. No speed or pellet-size restrictions means you can pattern and hunt with confidence, regardless of what works best for your gun or hunting situation. Installation and removal require no wrench, and the extended design provides extra muzzle protection between swaps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these Cremator tubes with steel shot in all constrictions?

Yes. The Cremator chokes are designed with no size or speed restrictions for steel shot across all three constrictions—mid-range and long-range included. You have complete freedom to match your ammunition to the pattern and range you're hunting.

What does Triple Shot Technology actually do for my patterns?

TST uses three graduated rings in the taper section to create a more gradual transition from your shotgun bore to the final constriction. This reduces pellet deformation and flyers, resulting in tighter, denser patterns and fewer gaps where birds escape.

Do I need tools to swap between the mid-range and long-range tubes?

No. These chokes feature wrench-less installation and removal, so you can switch constrictions quickly in the field without any extra gear.
