Description

Carlson's built this choke specifically for shotguns that have had their barrels reamed and tapped to accept the Tru-Choke Thinwall system, which is common on older side by sides, over unders, and thin-walled barrels that were never factory-threaded for interchangeable chokes. If your gun falls into that category, tracking down the right constriction can be a headache, and this Improved Modified tube fills that gap nicely with a .705 diameter flush mount design.

Why the Tru-Choke Thinwall Fit Matters

The Thinwall system uses a .774 inch, 44 tpi thread that's noticeably smaller than a standard Tru-Choke or Win-Choke pattern, which is exactly why it exists. Barrels that are too thin to safely handle a standard choke thread get this smaller diameter cut instead, so trying to force a regular choke tube in just is not an option. This tube is machined to match that exact thread and body diameter so it drops in flush and seats correctly without any modification.

Improved Modified Constriction on This Tru-Choke Tube

Improved Modified sits between a true Modified and Full constriction, giving you a tighter pattern than Modified without going all the way to Full. It's a solid pick for longer crossing shots on upland birds, pass shooting waterfowl, or tightening up your pattern on the second barrel of a double gun. Keep in mind this tube is built for 2 3/4 inch lead shot loads only, since the small diameter and thinner wall thickness of the Thinwall system isn't rated for steel or magnum shot.

Every Carlson's choke is machined from heat treated stainless steel, so it holds up to repeated use without pitting or corroding on you over time. The company backs its tubes with a lifetime warranty, and they're manufactured in the USA using pattern data collected over decades of testing different load and choke combinations. If you've got an older gun or a custom threaded barrel that needs a Thinwall tube, this is a straightforward way to get a factory-fit choke without guessing on compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Tru-Choke Thinwall Improved Modified fit any 12 gauge shotgun?

No, this tube only fits barrels that have already been reamed and tapped specifically for the Tru-Choke Thinwall system, which uses a .774 inch, 44 tpi thread. It will not fit a standard Tru-Choke, Win-Choke, or Rem Choke barrel since those use different thread sizes. Check your barrel markings or measure the threads before ordering to make sure it's the right fit.

Can I shoot steel shot through this choke tube?

No, this Thinwall choke is built for 2 3/4 inch lead shot loads only. The small diameter and thinner wall of the Thinwall system means it is not rated for steel shot or magnum loads, so stick with lead to keep things safe and get the pattern this tube is designed to produce.

What kind of shooting is the Improved Modified constriction best suited for?

Improved Modified lands between Modified and Full, so it tightens your pattern up a bit more than a Modified choke without going as tight as Full. It works well for longer crossing shots on upland birds or as the tighter barrel choice on a double gun paired with a more open constriction.

Is the Tru-Choke Thinwall tube made from stainless steel?

Yes, this choke is machined from heat treated stainless steel, which resists corrosion and holds up well over years of hunting and shooting seasons. Carlson's also backs it with a lifetime warranty.
