Carlson's Choke Tubes 11642 Cremator 11642 12 Gauge Mid-Range Long Range Non-Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

Carlson's Cremator 12 gauge choke tubes bring a proven waterfowl design to your shotgun with mid-range and long-range constriction options. Built from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel and manufactured in the USA, these non-ported tubes give you the durability and pattern density serious duck and goose hunters demand. The Cremator series uses Carlson's Triple Shot Technology (TST)—a graduated ring system in the taper section that creates a smoother transition from bore to final constriction, reducing pellet deformation and flyaway shot for tighter, more consistent patterns.

The extended design delivers 25% more parallel section than standard tubes, translating to denser patterns downrange and better pellet retention on crossing shots. Because they're non-ported, they won't create the muzzle rise and disturbance that can spook birds in tight quarters—a real advantage when hunting over decoys or along treelines. Installation is wrenchless, removal is quick, and the extended profile also shields your barrel from mud and weathering when you're slogging through marshy country. Carlson's Cremator tubes handle all sizes and speeds of steel shot without restriction, so you're covered whether you're throwing 2s early season or 4s late in the year.

These are the same tubes trusted by waterfowlers across the continental US, backed by a lifetime warranty and precision-machined to tight tolerances. If you're running a Winchester, Browning Invector, Mossberg 500, Weatherby, pre-1993 Ruger Red Label, or most Winchester/Browning SX-series guns, the Cremator mid and long-range set will drop right in and transform your gun into a genuine long-distance waterfowl tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shotguns do these Cremator tubes fit?

Carlson's Cremator 12 gauge non-ported tubes are designed for Winchester, Browning Invector, Mossberg 500, Weatherby, pre-1993 Ruger Red Label, and most Winchester and Browning SX-series shotguns. If you have a Browning Invector Plus model (such as Winchester SX-2, SX-3, or SXP), those guns require Browning Invector Plus tubes instead. Check your shotgun's manual or contact us if you're unsure of your model.

Can I use these tubes with steel shot?

Yes. Carlson's Cremator choke tubes in all constrictions—including the mid-range and long-range models in this set—are fully rated for all sizes and speeds of steel shot without any restrictions.

What's the difference between ported and non-ported choke tubes?

Non-ported tubes, like this Cremator set, don't have small holes drilled through the walls. This design avoids the muzzle blast and disturbance that ported tubes create, making them ideal for hunting over decoys or in tight situations where spooking birds is a concern. The tradeoff is that ported tubes can reduce recoil slightly; non-ported designs prioritize pattern integrity and stealth.

What is Triple Shot Technology and why does it matter?

Triple Shot Technology (TST) uses three graduated rings in the choke tube's taper section to create a smoother, more gradual transition from your shotgun's bore down to the final constriction. This reduces pellet deformation and flyaway shot, giving you denser, more consistent patterns downrange—a real advantage on crossing waterfowl and distant shots.
