Description
The Light Modified is one of those chokes that just makes sense once you start pushing past the close stations. It sits right between improved cylinder and modified, which means it forgives a little on speed while still giving you enough pattern density to reach those birds in the 25 to 35 yard range. Carlson's builds this one from solid 17-4 stainless, CNC milled and heat-treated so it holds up round after round without the corrosion headaches you get from cheaper tubes.
What Sets the Sporting Clay Light Modified Apart
The real story here is the parallel section. Carlson's stretched it about 25 percent longer than their earlier tubes, and that longer straight bore is what throws the tighter, more even patterns you want when a target is getting out there. Extended chokes with a longer parallel section tend to run more consistent with fewer flyer pellets, and this one is designed exactly for that. It fits Beretta and Benelli Mobil 12 gauge choke systems, so if you're running a 391, an A400 with a Mobil setup, or a Benelli built around the same threads, you're in business.
Running the Mobilchoke on the Course
The tube end is knurled so you can spin it in and out by hand without digging around for a wrench, and the constriction is laser marked right on the rim so you always know what's loaded before you call for the bird. Lead, copper-plated, nickel, Hevi-Shot, bismuth, tungsten, and steel loads all run fine through it, though it's worth patterning it with the exact shell you plan to shoot since different loads open up differently through the same choke.
Carlson's backs the whole thing with a lifetime warranty, and they're made in the USA. For a shooter building out a range bag with close, mid, and long chokes, the Light Modified earns its spot as the one you'll leave in for most of a course.

Frequently Asked Questions
What targets is the Light Modified choke best for?
It shines on mid-range birds, roughly 25 to 35 yards, which is where a big chunk of any sporting clays course lives. It gives you tighter pattern density than an improved cylinder without closing down as hard as a modified, so it's forgiving enough to leave in for most stations. Many shooters treat a Light Modified as their all-around workhorse and only swap out for the extreme close or extreme long presentations.
Will this Carlson's Mobilchoke fit my Beretta or Benelli?
It's cut for Beretta and Benelli Mobil 12 gauge choke systems, which covers a lot of the popular semi-autos and over/unders built on those threads. That said, Beretta and Benelli have used more than one choke pattern over the years, so double-check that your barrel is a Mobil setup and not a Benelli Crio or Optima before ordering. If your gun takes the Mobil thread, this tube drops right in.
Do I need a wrench to install the Light Modified choke tube?
No, the end of the tube is knurled so you can thread it in and out by hand right on the course. The constriction is also laser marked on the rim, so you can confirm what's loaded at a glance without pulling it back out. A quick wipe and a little choke lube on the threads now and then keeps it turning smooth.
What kind of shot can I run through this choke?
Lead, copper-plated, nickel, Hevi-Shot, bismuth, tungsten, and steel loads are all fair game in this Sporting Clay tube. For the best results, pattern it on paper with the exact shell you plan to compete or hunt with, since two different loads can open up quite differently through the same choke. That little bit of range time tells you a lot more than any chart.
