This Model 11-48 uses a long-recoil operated semi-automatic action with right-side ejection. A bolt release button is positioned ahead of the trigger guard for direct access. The bolt is polished and left in the white, providing a distinct visual contrast with the blued receiver.
The 28 inch plain steel barrel is set up with a fixed Modified choke and a 2 3/4 inch chamber. Barrel markings include a patent number line and the words "OTHERS PENDING," consistent with production from its post-WWII period.
Sighting is simple and practical with a single front bead. The tubular magazine provides a 4+1 capacity and is fitted with a knurled magazine cap. A cross-bolt safety is located at the trigger guard.
The shotgun is finished in blued steel with a walnut pistol-grip stock and a walnut forend featuring diamond-pattern checkering.
