Carlson's Longbeard XR Choke Tube

While it is specifically engineered to optimize the performance of Winchester Longbeard XR loads, it will work with other turkey loads. However, you will see the best pattern density and consistency when pairing it with the ammunition it was designed for.

Yes, the porting helps redirect gases as the shot leaves the barrel, which slightly reduces felt recoil and muzzle jump. It is a subtle difference, but it helps with faster follow-up shots and overall comfort during a long day in the field.

Yes, this choke tube is approved for use with steel shot. However, keep in mind that it is optimized for lead and specialized turkey loads, so you may want to pattern your specific steel shot load before heading out to ensure the density meets your needs.

An extended choke tube protrudes from the end of your shotgun barrel rather than sitting flush inside it. This design allows for a longer internal taper, which helps shape the shot column more effectively for tighter, more consistent patterns at longer ranges.

No, you can install or remove this choke tube by hand. The extended, knurled end provides enough grip to tighten it securely into your barrel without needing a wrench.
