Remington shotgun question
My neighbor wants to sell his Remington Sportsman 48 shotguns...one in 12 ga. and one 20 ga. Is the Sportsman 48 the same as an 11-48 and what's the difference?
Also, he claims that you can use a tubing cutter to make a "house gun" out of an old shotgun. I know they will cut copper pipe but steel?????

A neighbor of mine is having an estate sale for his mom and looking over there today I see two Remington shotguns. One is a model 10, the other a model 11. Both 12 guages. The wood on either is not too bad, I would rate it at 70%+. The metal on both has some rust from storage which will leave some pitting I'm sure, once cleaned. Overall bluing(original?)is 70%-80%.
He wants $250.00 each. Sorry I didn't check barrel lengths, or chokes and I know that affects value. Buy or run? TIA for opinions.0 -
As to the tubing cutter, it will cut the barrel, but it also compresses the mouth. If the barrel is tight, you run a grave risk of growing a flower petal. Don't do it. Hacksaw or bandsaw is the way to go. 0 -
In my diminished memory, I believe the only difference is 3 and 5 shot. Just like the older model 11's.
As for the tubing cutter, I concur with P3, leave that with the plumbing tools, NOT with the gunsmithing tools.0 -
sorry guys, I use a tubing cutter to cut a lot of barrels (nice square cut) but I do 'dress' the inside to remove the 'burr'. some realy tight choke tubes reduce 12 ga. barrel dia to 16 ga.! 0 -
I have used the tubing cutter to get a square cut by just scoring then finish with saw.tks hedge[:D] 0
