Finally scratched the superposed itch.

[Joe from MO]

Ran across a Superposed I really liked, made in 1962 same as me, so no salt worries, etc. Seemed to be in excellent shape, although it appears to not be original butt pad.

Talked them down to a price I liked, and she'll be here next week.

A few blemishes here and there, but overall a very nice gun it appears....

26.5" Sk/Sk choked.

Great find. It's an itch I can't seem to scratch because I want a specific gun and the ones I've seen are over priced or in poor condition. Is that a 12g? I got impatient and just bought a 4 barrel Citori Skeet set almost NIB from the 70's with 28" tubes. Brownings never get tiring.

[Joe from MO]

Yes, it's a 12ga. I would have loved to find a 20ga similar to this one, but the price doubles at min. I wanted a close cover, skeet gun with round knob stock. Preferably a 1950's or presalt 1960's gun. I was happy with the price I paid for it.

Joe, there are RKLT 20s out there if you keep your nose to the ground. Andy, I shot a Citori 4 barrel set in NSSA competition for years and loved it until I discovered the 3200 Remington. I "gave" the Browning to one of the young boys who worked at our club, PG Trap and Skeet in MD. I lost track of his NSSA exploits, but would like to have that great gun back. It's probably sitting in a closet of his million dollar mansion. You know how young boys progress as the years go by.

Yea, I am always looking... I didn't wake up yesterday thinking I was gonna buy a Superposed, but ran across that one and it set off my bells & whistles in what I wanted in one, if I was to buy a 12ga gun.

I've got a Sabatti made Remington Premier 20ga O/U sitting in the safe I really like, if the itch to use a 20ga O/U hits me, before I find the right Superposed..... I think if I get a 20 though, it's gonna have to be at least a pigeon grade, so that may be a while.

A 12 will kill birds and break clays just fine, and in style when it looks like that new gun.

[Bill Murphy]

Joe, a Pigeon Grade 20 would be a great find and a great addition to your collection. Conversely, I have restricted my Superposed collection to harder to find early post war and prewar Grade 1s. Lots of variety and less cost. It took me many years to find a RKLT .410 with 28" field choked barrels in mint condition. But now I have one. My other Grade 1s were a little easier to find, but very satisfying.

[Joe from MO]

I've always been a "field grade" sort of guy, becuase I buy them to shoot as well as to have a nice assortment of guns.....

My Dad had a 20ga Pigeon Grade, I always loved just looking at it, and while I know there are fancier guns, it's always sort of been another itch I want to scratch, someday maybe I'll run across the right gun, at the right price when I have the change in my pocket to do so. That said, the just right G1 field gun would not upset me. hahahaha

A rash perhaps

What, no Midas? Very nice.

G1, Pigeon, Pointer & Diana if I am not mistaken.
