Superposed Superlight Restoration and Upgrade

[Bobby Cash]

Nine months to the day, I picked up and took home my Superposed project.
28 gauge, 28", Skeet / Skeet

It was my pleasure to work with three extremely talented craftsmen and fine gentleman.
Art Isaacson, Art's gun and Sport Shop, did the restoration.
Kelly Clairmont, Montana Custom Guns, did the restock.
Angelo Bee, Angelo Bee Workshop, executed Browning's Grade 3 Pointer pattern.


I couldn't be prouder or more pleased with the fruits of their labor.
Grazie Mille
A thousand thank yous

Beautiful restoration. Angelo took a Skket grade 20 ga Model 21 and turned it into my Dessa Gun with my Brittany on the floorplate, and S Tx doves and Quail on the sides. He turned that around for me in 2-3 months some 5 years ago. never seen his picture so thanks for posting him. He looks like a Belgium tall and thin!!

You know, I really have a problem with Superpose guns and even Citori’s. The barrels are mounted the wrong way and they have only one trigger but they fit me like they were made for me and I shoot them better than any other gun I that I own. They are light, well balanced and handle like a dream. I wish I owned a Parker that performed as well but to date I have not and I don’t expect to.

The 20 Superpose I own was made in 1959 and the original owner was an old family friend. It has a tremendous amount of sentimental value and I’ll always cherish it. They really are special guns.

Welding up those pits "on faith" took some real craftsmanship in an area that we don't normally reserve for craftsmen. Saved a really beautiful gun. Thanks for the photos.

[Bobby Cash]

Good evening Bill.
You can't weld pits. Polished and feathered.
Plenty of meat on the 28 gauge barrels.

[Jay Gardner]

How much does the gun weight?

[Bill Jacobs]

Good evening Bill.

I'm looking at the receiver photos. Looks like some steel was replaced and then worked back down. Just marvelous work! Thanks for sharing it.

[Bobby Cash]

Apologies Bill, I thought you were referring to the barrels, the only place you can't add steel.
Weld, anneal, grind and polish.

It was originally a salt-wood gun?


Guaranteed it was.

So many Brownings were essentially ruined because of their "quick drying" method of using a salt pack to draw moisture from the wood.

What a fabulous restoration!!
