Okay, interesting....i bought all three 11-48's 25 years ago from an estate sale, that is why i was given SOME word of mouth provenance. The 28 bore is marked MOD, so definitely not factory. Both .410's are within three serial numbers, and both are marked CYL. I have seldom seen .410's in cylinder bore, and most commonly either full or skeet. My supposition is this fellow ordered the two guns intending to put cutts on immediately. Without having to sacrifice barrel length cutting the choke out. Both barrels are 26" before the cutts, almost 30 with. All three guns were cut to 13" LOP, including being fitted with Pach white lines. Will have to delve deeper..
