Superposed 28 and 410
 
The 28 gauge just showed up today !

Took one picture and will get more later . Gun looks very nice and after taking the stock off I am about 99.9% sure it doesn't have salt wood in the stock . Hopefully I'll be able to test the stock and forend wood tommorrow when my pharmacist buddy brings his solution !

I think they are the best deal out there for a o/u, you can get a 12 or 20 for less than a new Browning from Japan. If you want a o/u for hunting a 20ga lightning is hard to beat.

I have a Superposed 3 barrel set (20, 28 & 410) and love it. It is one of my favorite non-sxs guns. Am planning to shoot doves with it this season

I've already got a pair of Superposed 12's and a pair of 20 gauge as well . All for less then a comprable Citori .

The 28 and 410 however were a different story price wise !

In the past I've kept my eyes open for the Superposed 4 barrel and 3 barrel sets . While the 4 barrel would be great if I were competing again and didn't want to go the tube route . For just plain fun to shoot the 3 barrel set is far better as it's built on the smaller less bulky 20 gauge frame .

Yeah, I think it would be better to buy a separate 12 gauge and keep my 3 barrel set on the small frame. We actually have plenty of over and unders and are looking to thin the herd a little.

I wanna at some point get a decent Superposed trap gun with 32" pipes and maybe an early early 12 field gun with double triggers . But those two and perhaps a couple Remington 32's and I'll have all the O/U's I need or want as well . Now with that being said a nice Boss , Woodward or Purdey O/U wouldn't be turned down .

Is it just me or does that forearm appear to be the style used on the mid 80s vintage citoris?

It's not to far from the Citori of that period as I had several back then .

Well I tested the 28 gauge with the solution for salt and both the stock and forend are NOT salt wood !
