Description
Carlson's built this ported buckshot choke tube for one job: wringing tighter, more consistent patterns out of 00 and 000 buckshot at the ranges where it matters. Big buck loads have a habit of throwing pellets everywhere out of a factory choke, and this tube tightens things up so more of your pattern lands where you're aiming. It's cut for Winchester, Browning Invector standard, and Mossberg 500 threaded barrels, and it extends roughly an inch past the muzzle with a clean black finish.
What the Ported 17799 Brings to the Bench
The porting isn't just for looks. Those vents bleed off gas as the load exits, which trims felt recoil and settles muzzle jump on those heavy buckshot rounds. If you've ever run 3-inch magnum buck out of a lightweight gun, you know how welcome that is. Folks running this tube regularly report noticeably faster recovery between shots and tighter groups than their stock full choke delivered, with reports of pattern density in the neighborhood of 8 of 12 pellets inside an 8-inch circle at 40 yards using high-velocity 00 loads.
Built to Last With the Buckshot Choke Tube
Carlson's machines this choke from solid 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, the same material they use across their lineup for durability and corrosion resistance. It handles lead, steel, and Hevi-Shot, so you've got some flexibility depending on what you're feeding it. The constriction is tuned to pattern large and small loads well, making it a versatile pick whether you're chasing deer, running predator calls, or setting up for defensive work.
Installation is straightforward, and plenty of owners note it seats and comes out by hand without fighting a wrench. Carlson's backs their choke tubes with a lifetime warranty, so if anything ever goes wrong you send it back and they take care of you. For anyone shooting serious buckshot out of a Winchester-threaded 12 gauge, this is a smart, no-nonsense upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shotguns does the Carlson's 17799 buckshot choke tube fit?
This tube is threaded for the Winchester choke system, which also covers Browning Invector standard and Mossberg 500 barrels. Before ordering, double-check that your barrel uses one of those threading patterns, since Carlson's offers this same buckshot choke in other systems like Remington and Beretta/Benelli Mobil under different part numbers.
Does the porting on this buckshot choke really reduce recoil?
Yes. The ports vent gas as the shot column leaves the barrel, which cuts down on felt recoil and muzzle jump, especially with heavy 00 and 000 loads. Owners regularly mention faster recovery between shots, which helps when you need a quick follow-up.
What kind of shot can I run through the 17799 choke tube?
It's rated for lead, steel, and Hevi-Shot loads, though it's tuned specifically for 00 and 000 buckshot. Keep in mind it's built for buckshot performance, so it shines with those larger pellets more than fine birdshot.
Is this choke tube easy to install and remove?
It threads in like any standard choke, and many owners find it seats and backs out by hand without needing a wrench. As always, a light coat of choke tube grease on the threads makes install and removal smoother down the road.
