I love 11-48's! Mine is in a 28 gauge and is my turkey gun.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Very nice.Looks like the old Sportsman-48 20 gauge I have.Not sure whats the difference between the Sportsman 48 and the 11-48.Mine will only hold three shells.

very nice , now it is time to go 16ga shell shopping
used to see a few boxes of slugs once a year but maybe because all the 20 and 12 were missing from the shelf I started seeing some 16 ga ammo around
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

My grandfather passed his 11-48 12 ga to me when I was 10. I still shoot it today I am 64. As an adult I managed to collect the entire 11-48 series including the 410 which I didn't know even existed. My first new shotgun was at 12 an 1100 12. I still use it. If I can pick up the 12 and 20 magnum I will have that complete set. The 410 was the hardest and most expensive of those. Awesome gift and I know like mine it has a lot of sentimental value. I look forward to passing mine down.

Very nice! I always figured a 16 would suite me because I wanted a 20 ga for quail and a 12 for pheasant (especially if it was windy).

My first gun was a 16ga bolt action Mossberg. I still have it, although I have not shot it in decades. It got me a lot of game growing up. I always liked the 16ga. I even have an old Lee load all for reloading somewhere around.
