Description
Federal designed Black Cloud ammo around the FliteControl wad, and that wad does its best work in a choke that leaves it alone. This Carlson's tube is purpose-built for exactly that. It runs a .700 Long Range constriction out of a non-ported, non-wad-stripping extended body, so the wad stays intact and the FliteStopper steel gets to do its job downrange. The result is a denser, more consistent pattern at the longer distances where late-season ducks and geese like to stay.
Why the Titanium Coating on This Black Cloud Choke Matters
The body is titanium-coated steel, and that finish isn't just for looks. It cuts down on fouling and build-up inside the tube, which keeps the wad passing through cleanly shot after shot and makes cleanup a lot less of a chore at the end of a cold morning. The knurled end gives you a solid grip for installing and removing it in the field, even with gloves on or wet hands.
Loads That Fit This Long Range Invector Tube
While it's tuned for Black Cloud, this tube also patterns well with other steel shotshells, so you're not locked into one brand. For the Long Range model specifically, stick with steel shot no larger than BB and velocities at or below 1550 fps. It's an extended choke, so it sits proud of the muzzle where you can read the constriction markings at a glance.
Fitment for the Black Cloud 12GA Choke
This is the standard Invector pattern, which covers a wide spread of popular guns: Winchester Winchoke, standard Browning Invector, Mossberg Accu-Choke, and Weatherby Integral Multi Choke barrels. If your 12 gauge runs any of those thread patterns, this drops right in. Carlson's builds these in the USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty, which tells you plenty about how they expect it to hold up over seasons of hard waterfowl use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guns does the Black Cloud 12GA Invector choke fit?
It uses the standard Invector thread pattern, so it fits Winchester Winchoke, standard Browning Invector, Mossberg Accu-Choke, and Weatherby Integral Multi Choke 12 gauge barrels. Double-check that your shotgun uses standard Invector and not Invector-Plus, since those are different threads. If you run an Invector-Plus gun, Carlson's offers a separate Black Cloud tube for that pattern.
Can I shoot ammo other than Federal Black Cloud through this choke?
Yes. It's tuned to get the most out of Black Cloud, but it patterns well with other steel shotshells too. For this Long Range model, keep your steel shot at BB size or smaller and velocities at or below 1550 fps.
Is this choke ported?
No, it's a non-ported, extended tube. Black Cloud ammo is built around the FliteControl wad, which works best through a choke that doesn't port or strip the wad, so the non-ported design is intentional and lets the wad and FliteStopper shot perform the way Federal designed them to.
What does the .700 Long Range constriction do for my patterns?
The tighter .700 constriction squeezes the shot into a denser pattern that holds together at extended ranges. That's what you want when birds are flaring wide or sitting out past comfortable decoy distance. For closer work over decoys, the Mid Range version opens things up a bit more.
