What’s Included
- Remington Model 11-48 28 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun with installed Lyman Cutts Compensator, ventilated barrel rib, and ventilated recoil pad with white-line spacer
- Three Cutts 28 GA choke tubes: one installed in the compensator, plus two loose tubes marked "28 GA F" (Full) and "28 GA MOD" (Modified)
- Cutts choke tube wrench
The 21-inch barrel is paired with a Lyman Cutts Compensator that accepts interchangeable Cutts choke tubes, offering pattern options with three tubes—one installed in the compensator plus the included Full and Modified tubes. A front bead sight is mounted on the Cutts unit for a clear, traditional sight picture.
A ventilated rib has been fitted to the barrel, complementing the short barrel length for a quick-handling setup. The magazine cap is knurled for easy disassembly and maintenance.
The long-recoil, semi-automatic action is configured for 28-gauge shells in a 2 3/4-inch chamber, feeding from a 4+1 tubular magazine. This gauge was produced in smaller numbers than the more common 12- and 20-gauge variants of the Model 11-48.
The checkered wood stock and fore-end include a pistol-grip stock with a Monte Carlo comb, a grip cap with a gamebird medallion, and a ventilated recoil pad with a white-line spacer. Length of pull is 13 inches, providing a compact, shoulder-friendly fit.
