Hi Mark and welcome. Yes, the Stevens 555 Compact 28 Gauge Shotgun has a steel breech insert:
The steel insert is centered vertically over the firing pins and reinforces the standing breech.
The insert minimizes weight while maximizing strength. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Hi Mark, yes sir, the 28-gauge features a lightweight aluminum alloy receiver and unique steel insert centered vertically over the firing pins that reinforces the standing breech (same as the 12 and 20). Stay safe & have a great day!
