I use a model 42 for rabbits when I'm not using a Parker. I have a pair of Bailey full length 410 tubes I got with a 20 ga Parker from Jim DiSpagno. I haven't tried them yet. Anyone had experience with these?

I just added a circa 1970 Browning Superposed 410 26 1/2" SK&SK . We shall see how this one feels in my hands . I might add I also picked up a circa 1970 Browning Superposed 28 gauge 28" SK&SK .

Both about 3-6 hours ago !

My .410 is a DeHaan SGrS. After buying a nice Parker reproduction 20 gauge, I gave the .410 to my youngest daughter.

Nice find! Skeet , lightning or super light config? May sound like a dumb question with sk&sk chokes, but i have superlights that are skeet and skeet....and personally thing superposed superlights are the "bees knees"!!

These are both skeet guns . The 28 is coming from Denver and the 410 from somewhere close to Kansas City !

I had a 20 gauge Superlight in my hands a couple years ago , it was a good solid gun but it would have needed a stock refinish for me to be satisfied with it . So I sold it to someone else for more then I would have paid !

I have six Superposed now (well provided I'm satisfied with these two when they arrive) . I think I still need a nice 32" Broadway and one of the old early 12 gauge field guns with factory double triggers . I've had a pair of the old double trigger 12's in my hands before and like a lot of other things , they sold for more then I was willing to pay .

The 28 gauge from the GB pics .







And GB pics of the 410 !








With the addition of these two I have a 12 gauge 26 1/2" skeet circa 1968 , a 20 gauge 26 1/2" skeet circa 1965 , the 28 gauge 28" skeet circa 1970 and the circa 1970 410 skeet 26 1/2" .

I held out for 28-inch barrels in all four --



The 12-gauge is 1968, but has the "new style" diamond post rib as does my 1970 28-gauge. The 1969 20-gauge and the 1968 .410-bore both have the older style square post ribs.

Very nice !

I'da been happy with all 26 1/2" or all 28" . Perhaps down the road I'll find a 28 that's 26 1/2" .

These new additions have me thinking I need to get a PW 800 Plus with extra dies for all five gauges !
