Description
The Carlson's 52262 is a flush-mount Modified choke built for Remington 12 gauge shotguns that use the Rem Choke thread pattern. It's the versatile middle-of-the-road constriction most hunters and clay shooters reach for when they want one choke that covers a lot of ground. A Modified choke keeps roughly 60 percent of your pellets inside a 30-inch circle at 40 yards, which is the sweet spot for medium-range work where you don't want a pattern that's too open or too tight.
Where the 52262 Modified Choke Earns Its Keep
Think pheasant over pointing dogs, ducks working the decoys at moderate range, dove fields, and sporting clays where targets aren't sailing out to the horizon. Modified gives you enough spread to make close shots forgiving while still holding a dense enough pattern to reach out. If you tend to run one choke for most of your season and only swap when conditions really change, this is the constriction that makes the most sense to leave in the barrel.
Built From 17-4 Stainless
Like the rest of the Carlson's lineup, this tube is CNC machined from solid 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel bar stock, so it holds up to corrosion and years of hard use. It's rated for lead, steel, and Hevi-Shot in this constriction, giving you flexibility across different loads and quarry. The flush design seats level with the muzzle for a clean look and gets rid of the worn, damaged, or lost factory tube that came with your gun.
A Straight Replacement for Your Rem Choke Barrel
This is a direct fit for Remington shotguns threaded for Rem Choke, so 870, 1100, 11-87 owners and similar models can drop it right in. Carlson's builds these in the USA and stands behind them with a lifetime warranty, which is a nice thing to have on a part that lives at the business end of your shotgun. Pattern your gun with the loads you plan to shoot and you'll know exactly what this tube is doing downrange.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Carlson's 52262 fit my Remington 870?
Yes, this choke is threaded for the Rem Choke pattern, so it fits Remington 870, 1100, 11-87, and other 12 gauge models that use Rem Choke threading. It's a straight replacement for a factory flush tube that's worn, damaged, or missing. If you're unsure what thread pattern your barrel uses, check your owner's manual or the markings on your original choke.
What range and game is a Modified choke best for?
A Modified constriction is the versatile middle ground, holding a dense pattern out to roughly 30 to 40 yards. That makes it a solid pick for pheasant, ducks over decoys, dove, and sporting clays where targets sit at medium distance. It's a great choice if you want one all-around choke to leave in the gun most of the season.
Can I shoot steel shot through this choke tube?
Yes, this Modified tube is rated for lead, steel, and Hevi-Shot, so you've got flexibility across loads. Keep in mind steel patterns tighter than lead through the same constriction, so a Modified tube with steel will pattern closer to a Full. Pattern your gun with your specific load to see exactly how it performs.
What is the 52262 choke made from and is it durable?
It's CNC machined from solid 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, the same material Carlson's uses across their lineup. That means good corrosion resistance and a tube that holds up to years of hard use. It's also backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty.
