Carlson’s New Bismuth Bone Buster™ Choke Tubes are designed to help you unlock the performance of Bismuth shotgun ammunition.

Bismuth is making a comeback as a cost-effective alternative to the rising expense of shooting tungsten-based shot shells while offering more knock-down power than lead. With this devastating power, Bismuth has all of the downrange capabilities hunters look for in their shot shells with the added advantage of being able to use tighter constrictions to produce dense patterns with more down-range energy.

Harness that hard-hitting Bismuth performance with Carlson’s New Bismuth Bone Buster™ Choke Tubes! With a longer parallel section and tighter constrictions, these choke tubes pattern bismuth better than factory or most aftermarket chokes.

Carlson’s Bismuth Bone Buster™ Choke Tubes are manufactured in the USA from 1704 stainless steel, have a non-reflective matte black finish, and are backed by Carlson’s lifetime warranty.

Carlson’s Bismuth Bone Buster™ Choke Tubes are offered in the following configurations:
