The Carlson’s Extended Turkey Choke Tube (brand part no. 17639) is a purpose-built 12 gauge choke for turkey hunters who need every pellet to count. Machined from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, this choke tube extends approximately 1 inch past the muzzle and is engineered to handle heavy, buffered turkey shotshells without deforming. Carlson’s designed it to squeeze extra-tight patterns out of copper-plated and buffered lead turkey loads, giving you a denser payload at extended range where a clean head shot matters most. It’s a straightforward upgrade for any hunter running screw-in chokes who wants more confidence at 40-plus yards.
