Thanks for the comeback. I have been gone all week. Im realy interested in the new federal flieght control wads for turky hunting. My 1100 does not have a magnum reciever nor a 3in chamber, so that leaves me with just my 48.
It(48) also is not marked 3in, but it does measure 3.450 from edge of the barrel to the forcingcone.
The gun is in fine condition, it does not have a dumascus barrel and still locks up tight.
The gun is not marked as to the degree of choke, it measures .705 it has a snap on forend and a vented recoil pad. If i am correct it was made in the 70's but thats just a guess.
I have fire slugs in it, they were brutal from the bench. After 3 round i had had enough the last 2 rounds were in vain.

If you thought the slugs were bad, the turkey loads will be worse. I fired a turkey load in my gun by accident one day while I was waterfowling. Somehow, it got mixed up with the waterfowl loads. Granted, it was a 3.5" magnum, but my right hand was number for 30 minutes afterward, and my cheek didn't feel very good either.

The good thing is that you usually only fire a couple of slugs or turkey loads in a day.
