Browning Superposed 20 Gauge – SUPERLIGHT, 5 3/4 LBS., NEW IN BOX!, vintage firearms inc
Description:
General Specs: Browning, Year 1984, 20 Gauge, 5lbs 12oz, Chokes IC/M, LOP 14 5/16", DAH 2 5/8", DAC 1 7/16"
Serial Number: 223PW03103
The Browning Superposed is one of the finest over/under shotguns in history and one of John Browning’s most prolific designs. Produced in plain jane field grades to the most elaborately engraved and finely stocked shotguns ever seen, production of the Browning Superposed was done in Belgium, running strong from 1931 through 1976 when production stopped. In 1969 Browning introduced the Superposed "SUPERLIGHT" in the 20ga. and finally was born a true upland bird gun. A typical Browning Lightning model weighs about 6 1/2lbs. in 20ga. At 5lbs. 12oz. and balanced perfectly between the hands, this 20-bore Superlight is 3/4lb. lighter than a typical Lightning Model and is the lightest Superlight 20ga. we have ever seen! This is a dynamic upland bird gun, with its straight hand stock, rounded frame, and schnabel forend that can be carried all day without fatigue. This gun, sn223PW03103, built in 1984, is one of only 973 total 20ga. Superlight guns made between 1969 and 1984 (746 built between 1969 and 1977, discontinued 1977-1983, 227 more made in 1983 and 1984, then discontinued again). Better yet, this gun was sold to us by the original owner who bought it new from a Browning dealer and never fired the gun. THIS SUPERLIGHT IS NEW AND UNFIRED IN THE FACTORY BOX. The wood on this Superlight has some of the nicest figure I have ever seen on a Grade 1, as they are usually quite plain. The wood has “fiddleback” figure that changes as the light hits it from different angles and strong contrasting grain running front to back…really great wood. Browning guys are known to love the more figured wood and the gun is worth more because of it. Highly desired by upland hunters that are in the know, these guns usually are only found in used condition showing wear on the bottom of the receiver and the usual nicks and dings from use. Finding a new-in-the-box Superlight is a rare occurrence, and finding one at 5 3/4lbs. and having killer wood is even more rare. There are few Over/Under 20ga. shotguns that weigh under 6lbs. The Superposed 20ga. guns have been going up in value in the last year or two, so they are a great investment quality gun that will be worth more in the future as you care for it and enjoy its use. Thanks for looking!
