Carlson’s Extended Turkey Choke v. Carlson’s Longbeard XR Choke

[valerio024]

Does anyone know if there is a difference between these two chokes other than the porting in the Longbeard version? I have a .660 ext version for my 870 and noticed that the Longbeard for the 870 is the same constriction.

The longbeard choke has wad slowing rings in it.  The standard Carlson's chokes don't.

Personally, I don't like the wad stopping rings, as they require cleaning after every shot to see consistency. You can fudge a bit more with a non ringed tube.

Please enlighten me as to how you discovered the need to clean the wad slowing rings in the Long beard choke tube? I have the same choke and never have cleaned it, didn't know I had to till now after your mentioned it. Might explain some of my pattern issues.

I also have an Indian Creek BDSS choke that has lateral ports that contact and slow down the wad hestening its separation. Is it advisable to clean it after one or more shots akso?

First shot was a somewhat even pattern and the second and third shots blew holes in the target paper. Pulled the choke and it was full of plastic residue.
