Browning Superposed 20 Ga – 1964, 98% FACTORY CONDITION

The Browning Superposed is one of the finest over/under shotguns in history and one of John Browning’s most brilliant designs. Production of the Browning Superposed was undertaken in Belgium, from 1931 through 1977 when Browning regular production ended. The Superposed is well known in the upland world here and abroad. Here we have the venerable Browning Superposed Grade 1 Lightning in 20ga. with the most desirable LONG TANG ROUND KNOB configuration.  This 6lb. 6oz. gun (ABOUT ¼ POUND LIGHTER THAN MOST) balances perfectly between the hands, sn32608 V4 built in 1964, is all factory original and still retains 99% factory finish on the barrels, 98% on action and wood, and 90% on the trigger guard with light wear on the long tang…it is an untouched, factory original Belgium made Browning Superposed. With this being a 1964 gun there is no need to worry about the infamous salt debacle. This Superposed was manufactured two years before the change to the short tang trigger guard and the beginning of the “salt-wood debacle”. Guns built after mid-1966 were prone to salt contamination and rust because of the way Browning cured their wood. Not all guns were affected, but the marketplace still has an aversion to the later guns with short tangs built from 1967 to about 1971. The gun is choked SK/SK and has 3” chambers and a mirror bore.  The gun has seen careful use shows a few of the tiniest field marks on its stock. The stock has the original curved butt with factory butt plate intact measuring 14 3/8” LOP. The gun has perfect wood to metal fit and excellent screws. A great lightweight, fast pointing and handy gun to take hunting and will work equally well at the club breaking clays.
