Carlson Cremator choke tubes feature Triple Shot Technology in close-, mid- and long-range constrictions. TST consists of three graduated rings in the taper section of the choke (two in the Pro Bore system) that gradually transition the shot column to the final constriction. This reduces pellet deformation for fewer flyers and denser patterns. The extended choke tubes convey a 25-percent longer parallel section for even tighter, denser patterns. You get muzzle protection, and you don’t need a wrench to install. Ported and non-ported available. Cremator produces denser and more uniform patterns with steel, lead or heavier-than-lead shot. Premium 17-4 stainless steel; matte black finish. Lifetime warranty. MSRP $49.95 ($89.95 for two-pack); ported tubes $58.95 (two-pack $99.95). Contact: Carlson Choke Tubes, Dept. FFG, 720 S. Second St., P.O. Box 162, Atwood, Kansas 67730; (785) 626-3700; www.ChokeTube.com
