The 48 AL is the ultimate refinement of a classic
action design, the long-recoil autoloading shotgun. While other operating
systems have come and gone, discerning sportsmen still swear by the
reliability and agility of this light-weight shotgun.
The fine lines of the classic 48 AL reflect the quick handling
of this lightweight autoloader. Other versions of long-recoil design
guns have never been as aesthetically pleasing as the 48 AL When
first introduced, the alloy receiver astonished the shotgunning
world due to its light weight, but also because of its sleek design.
Never before had an autoloading shotgun had such a lively feel.
Today, the 48 AL holds a special place as the one autoloader that
handles like a fine over-and-under.
A Field grade and a Deluxe grade are offered in 20- and 28-gauge.
The 28-gauge, the world's lightest automatic, weighs only 5.4 lbs.
giving it a delightful sense of controllability.
All models include a steel-shot-proofed,
chrome-lined barrel. The Field grade 48 AL has a walnut stock and
matte-finished metal surfaces to minimize reflected light. The Deluxe
includes a high-grade walnut stock, with polished blued metal and
gold trigger. In either configuration, the extremely light-weight
and responsive feel of the 48 AL models make them a pure joy in
the field.
The 48 AL is the ultimate refinement of a beloved classic, ideal
for all types of upland gamebirds.
