Description
This Carlson's Sporting Clays Light Modified choke tube is built for the shooter who wants a little more reach without shutting the pattern down too far. It fits all Browning Invector-Plus 12 gauge choke systems and measures .725 at the muzzle, sitting right between improved cylinder and modified. That constriction makes it a versatile pick for stations where clays are breaking a touch farther out, and it carries over nicely into the field for upland birds and closer waterfowl work.
What Sets the Light Modified Sporting Clays Tube Apart
Carlson's builds these from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, then precision machines them to pattern better than a standard flush tube. The trick is a 25% longer parallel section, which settles the shot column down and throws denser, more even patterns while trimming the occasional flier. It's an extended-style tube, so it stands roughly three-quarters of an inch past the muzzle, and that extra length also helps protect the end of your barrel over a lot of rounds.
Running the Carlson's .725 Choke in the Real World
The knurled extension makes installing and pulling the tube easy, even with cold or gloved hands, and the constriction is laser marked right on the body so you're never guessing which one is threaded in. You can run lead, copper-plated, nickel, Hevi-Shot, bismuth, tungsten, or steel through it, which gives you plenty of room to match loads to the target. As with any choke, patterning it with the exact shell you plan to shoot is the best way to see what it does with your gun.
Carlson's Choke Tubes are made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty, so if anything ever goes wrong you send it back and they take care of it. For a Browning Invector-Plus setup, this Light Modified tube is a smart, do-a-little-of-everything option that earns its spot in the range bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Light Modified choke tube fit my Browning shotgun?
It's cut for all Browning Invector-Plus 12 gauge choke systems. Keep in mind Invector-Plus and the older standard Invector are not the same thread pattern, so check your barrel stamp before ordering. If your barrel is marked Invector-Plus, this tube is the right one.
What is the .725 constriction good for?
At .725 the Light Modified sits between improved cylinder and modified, giving you a bit more reach without choking the pattern down hard. That makes it a solid all-around choice for mid-range sporting clays targets and lighter field work like upland birds. Many shooters keep one threaded in as a versatile everyday tube.
Can I shoot steel shot through this Carlson's choke tube?
Yes, this tube handles lead, copper-plated, nickel, Hevi-Shot, bismuth, tungsten, and steel. The general rule is to avoid steel shot larger than BB in any Sporting Clays tube tighter than full, and Light Modified is well within that range. Match your load to the target and you're good to go.
Does the tube stick out past the barrel?
It does. This is an extended-style tube that stands roughly three-quarters of an inch past the muzzle, with a knurled end for easy hand installation. That extra length also helps shield the end of your barrel through a lot of rounds.
