The Carlsons Delta Waterfowl Mid-Range Extended choke (Retay) is a purpose-built choke tube for 12 gauge shotguns intended to improve pattern density at mid ranges. Constructed from 17-4 stainless steel, the tube features an extended, knurled body that projects 3/4″ beyond the barrel to reduce contact wear when using steel shot. The design incorporates a longer parallel section—reported as approximately 25% longer than conventional chokes—to promote more consistent, denser patterns and reduce flyers.
