THANK YOU, KEVIN M. WORFE SR. Description: BROWNING SUPERPOSED RKLT GRADE II EARLY PIGEON 20GA - SPECIAL ORDER WITH SHORTER LOP(?) - F. FUNKEN DOUBLE SIGNED - 26.5” - M / F - ca. 1958 - DELUXE COLLECTOR GUN WITH AUTHENTIC WEAR PATINA - TRIGGER HAS BEEN RE-GOLD AND ACTION TIGHTENED - MARVELOUS FIELD GUN THAT SHOOTS LIKE IT IS STILL 1958 - (THE SPECIAL ORDER NOTES) 1/4" SHORTER LOP THAN STANDARD WITH HORN BUTTPLATE.  The "Y" tang and "U" tang on a Browning Superposed refer to the shape of the metal tang extending from the receiver into the buttstock, a feature that shifted from a "Y" shape to a "U" shape around 1966–1967 as part of a modernization and cost-cutting effort. The "Y" tang is found on older models (pre-1966), featuring a more traditional, intricate inletting shape that requires more skilled wood-to-metal fitting. The "U" tang is found on later models, featuring a simpler, more streamlined shape. Key Differences: Timeline: "Y" tangs were standard on most pre-1967 Superposed shotguns. The transition to "U" tangs occurred around 1966, though some 1966-1968 guns might feature either, with "U" becoming standard soon after. Appearance & Inletting: The "Y" tang has a Y-shaped profile at the end of the top tang. The "U" tang is rounded or "U" shaped at the end. The wood inletting for a "Y" tang will not fit a "U" tang stock without significant modification, as the "U" tang is generally wider and shorter. Desirability: Collectors often prefer the older "Y" tang models (often associated with the "long tang" trigger guard and round knob stock) because they are considered more traditional, representing the original design of the Browning Superposed. Conversion: Converting from a "Y" to a "U" (or vice versa) requires professional gunsmithing to restock the gun, as the wood inletting is different. Common Configurations: "Y" Tang (Pre-1966/67): Often paired with a long tang, round knob (RKLT) design. "U" Tang (Post-1966/67): Often paired with the later "short tang" or flat knob design, as Browning streamlined production.
