Anyone have any experience with carlson's breachers chokes. I was thinking of getting one installed on my Mossberg 500 cruiser. I just think it looks intimidating.
Not really just for looks. This choke is made to shoot all loads. Slugs/00 buckshot/ steel shot loads/ all bird shot. Every thing you can get in 12ga. You can put it down the tube. When i called Carlson's they told me it was between a mod, choke and open choke. With 00buck you should get a pattern of about 2 inches at 25 feet and 8 inches at 50 yards, Plus the porting will help with muzzle rise and felt recoil by 50 %have an identical choke on my charles daly. looks mean with it on but really just for looks.
looks like this.. (not my picture)

Muzzle brake works well on a rifle but not on a shotgun. A shotgun shell doesn't generate enough pressure in the barrel like a rifle round does. You will notice very little if any difference in muzzle rise with a muzzle brake on a shotgun. None with felt recoil.Plus the porting will help with muzzle rise and felt recoil by 50 %
I'm sending mine off to Mike Orlean to get threraded. I want it just because I think it looks bada55.I want one to put on my mossy JIC but it's not threaded for chokes![]()
Actually, no--a breaching round is usually a specially made frangible load--often powdered lead or tungsten.My best friends mossberg 500 cruiser came with one on it.. As well as all the reasons listed above it is also made to dig into a door-jam and blow out the deadbolt or lock. I'm assuming with a heavy duty slug.
I might have agreed with you before I tried a brake (a real one) on a saiga 12. What a difference. And also makes it MUCH louder. Like a sharp penetrating loud. WOW.Muzzle brake works well on a rifle but not on a shotgun. A shotgun shell doesn't generate enough pressure in the barrel like a rifle round does.

I got the 870 Express Tactical (pictured above) a few months ago. The choke looks BA, but I took it off immediately and replace it with a different choke. I'm not bustin down doors, and I want the barrel length as short as I can legally go for a HD shotgun.mine too

I also have the same one pictured. What choke did you replace it with?I got the 870 Express Tactical (pictured above) a few months ago.
