Browning Superposed Lightning Grade I 20 Gauge

Description:
Offered here is a beautifully preserved Browning Superposed Lightning Grade I 20 gauge manufactured in Belgium in 1967. This shotgun remains in exceptional original condition and represents one of the most desirable classic field configurations produced during the golden era of Browning Superposed production.

The gun features 28” ventilated rib barrels chambered in 20 gauge with fixed chokes marked Improved Cylinder and Modified, making it an outstanding upland and sporting field combination. The handling qualities are exactly what enthusiasts look for in a Belgian Lightning lively, balanced, and elegant in the hands.

This example is fitted with a single selective trigger, round knob pistol grip stock, and desirable short tang trigger guard configuration. The walnut on this gun is especially attractive for a Grade I, displaying strong figure and rich color throughout. The original finish remains exceptionally well preserved, while the checkering remains sharp and crisp. The metal finish is equally impressive, showing the careful ownership and preservation this shotgun has received over the years.
