Description
Buckshot is a workhorse load, but it throws wide and kicks hard out of most factory barrels. Carlson's Ported Buckshot choke tube fixes both problems in one shot. It's cut with a constriction tuned specifically for 00 and 000 buckshot, so your pellets stay grouped downrange instead of scattering all over the place. Just as important, the ports machined into the top of the tube vent gas upward to hold the muzzle down, which means less climb between shots and a faster recovery on target.
What Sets the Carlson's Ported Buckshot Tube Apart
This one measures a .695 constriction and threads into Beretta/Benelli Mobil pattern shotguns. That covers a huge range of guns beyond just Beretta and Benelli, including many CZ, Franchi, Stoeger, Charles Daly, and other imports that use the same Mobil-style threads. Folks have run it in everything from the RIA VR60 to Tokarev and Black Aces builds with good results. It extends roughly an inch past the muzzle with a black finish, so it's easy to spot and easy to get a wrench on.
Build and Load Compatibility on the Carlson's Buckshot Choke
Carlson's machines this tube from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, the same material that's earned them a reputation as one of the go-to names in aftermarket chokes. The constriction is designed to handle both large and small loads, so it's not strictly a one-trick pony, and it works with lead, steel, and Hevi-Shot. Keep steel shot at BB or smaller and under 1,550 FPS to stay within spec.
If you're building out a home defense or truck gun and want your buckshot doing its job at real-world distances, this is a straightforward upgrade. Reports of seven-inch groups at 25 yards with Federal 00 tell you what a good buckshot choke can do for pattern control, and the ported design earns its keep every time you touch off a round. It's backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty and made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shotguns does the Carlson's Ported Buckshot choke tube fit?
It's built for the Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke system in 12 gauge. That covers a lot more than just Beretta and Benelli, since many CZ, Franchi, Stoeger, and other imported shotguns use the same Mobil-style threads. Owners have run it successfully in guns like the RIA VR60, Tokarev, and Charles Daly, so if your shotgun takes Mobil chokes, this one drops right in.
Does the ported design really reduce recoil and muzzle jump?
The ports vent gas upward as the shot exits, which helps hold the muzzle down and cut felt recoil. Buckshot loads are heavy hitters, so that bit of gas relief makes a real difference in how fast you can get back on target. Users regularly note noticeably less muzzle climb once they swap this choke in.
Can I use steel shot through the Carlson's Buckshot choke?
Yes, this tube works with lead, steel, and Hevi-Shot loads thanks to the 17-4 heat-treated stainless construction. Just keep steel shot at BB size or smaller and under 1,550 FPS to stay within the choke's rated spec. It's primarily calibrated for 00 and 000 buckshot but handles smaller loads well too.
How much does this choke stick out of the barrel?
The Carlson's Ported Buckshot tube is an extended design that protrudes roughly an inch past the muzzle. That extra length makes it easy to grab with a wrench for quick swaps and gives room for the porting to do its work. The black finish keeps it low-key on the end of your barrel.
