That is some beautiful wood for a 48 AL. I had a 20 GA 48 AL which was a Jim Dandy grouse gun; Very light and quick.

Can't find the words, that is one sweet shotgun! Yeah, I don't know how I lived without it. I carried it on one dove hunt and had very few birds, but what little shooting I did with it hooked me. It is so light and handy and fits me perfectly. Just need to find some birds to give it a better workout!

WOW...I've heard good things about those 48ALs in 28 gauge... and with that wood, I would have bought it for sure... and I currently own nothing but SxSs (well, I have a BPS that I got when I was about 12).

Same here,,, I'm not much for auto loaders but I do know that those 48's are a cut above most auto's. Pretty sure I would have had a hard time passing up that one up too. Enjoy

Holy cats man!! Is that wood factory? Yeah, it's factory. This is their "Deluxe" grade but the wood is far better than any Deluxe I've seen. They make 3 grades: Standard with matte metal and plain wood, Deluxe with polished metal and upgraded wood, and the Fenice in their World Class line that has a nickeled receiver, engraving, gold inlays and exhibition grade wood. I've seen some wood on the Fenice guns that looked like it should have been on a Purdey, but I've also seen some with wood that was nowhere as good as this lower grade Deluxe. I'd have bought it even with plain wood because I wanted the discontinued English stock, but I felt pretty fortunate to get the wood as an added bonus!

they sure are a nice great handling gun for sure.I was surprised at how much the 28 kicked but then you figure these franchi's don't weigh nothing.
