Description
Carlson's built the Cremator line around getting the most out of steel shot, and this Retay-specific set gives you two constrictions in one package so you're covered whether birds are working close or hanging up out past 40 yards. Both tubes use Carlson's Triple Shot Technology, a series of three graduated rings machined into the taper section that smooths out the transition from bore to constriction. That gradual step-down means less pellet deformation coming out of the barrel, fewer flyers on the edge of your pattern, and denser cores downrange where it counts.
What You Get With The Cremator Mid/Long Range Set
The mid-range tube runs a .707 constriction suited for birds working the decoys or crossing inside 40 yards, while the long-range tube tightens up to .697 for those higher passing shots and late-season geese that won't commit. Both are ported, which helps tame muzzle jump so you can get back on target faster for a follow-up shot on a second or third bird in the flock. Extended, wrench-less design means you can swap between the two in seconds without digging around for a tool, and the extra length sticking out past the muzzle also adds a bit of protection against dings and scrapes.
Built To Handle Steel Without Complaint
Since waterfowl hunters are running steel shot almost exclusively these days, Carlson's engineered the Cremator series with no shot size or velocity restrictions across any of its constrictions. Whether you're pushing high-velocity steel BBs at early season teal or heavier loads at big Canada geese, these tubes are built for it. The 17-4 stainless steel construction and heat treating keep them holding up to the punishment steel shot puts on choke tubes over a season of hard use.
Fit And Backing
These Cremator tubes are cut specifically for Retay shotgun threading, so there's no guessing on fitment if you're running a Retay in the blind. Every Carlson's choke tube comes from their USA manufacturing facility and carries the same lifetime warranty the company backs all their chokes with, so if something ever goes wrong with the tube itself, they'll make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Cremator choke tubes fit my Retay shotgun?
This particular 11582 set is cut specifically for Retay's factory thread pattern, so it drops right into Retay 12 gauge shotguns without any modification. Just double check your specific Retay model uses the standard Retay threading before ordering, since some manufacturers use different patterns across their lineup.
What's the difference between the mid-range and long-range choke in this set?
The mid-range tube has a .707 constriction and is meant for birds working inside 40 yards, like decoying ducks or close crossing shots. The long-range tube tightens down to .697 for those farther passing shots past 40 yards, giving you a denser pattern when the birds won't come in close.
Can I shoot steel shot through these Cremator choke tubes?
Yes, these are built for steel shot and Carlson's puts no size or velocity restrictions on either constriction in this set. They're also compatible with lead and Hevi-Shot loads, so you can run whatever ammo matches your hunt without worrying about choke compatibility.
Does the porting on these choke tubes actually make a difference?
The ports help bleed off gas at the muzzle, which cuts down on muzzle jump and felt recoil compared to a non-ported tube. That translates to staying on target better for a quick second shot, which matters when you've got more than one bird committed to the decoys.
