Browning Superposed Superlight 20 Gauge – Belgian FN Made


Description:
Offered here is a beautiful and exceptionally well balanced Browning Superposed Superlight chambered in 20 gauge, manufactured in Belgium by Fabrique Nationale in 1972. This elegant upland configuration represents one of the finest lightweight field guns Browning ever produced, combining classic Belgian craftsmanship with remarkably lively handling characteristics.

This shotgun features 26 1/2” barrels with 2 3/4” chambers and fixed Improved Cylinder and Modified chokes, an ideal configuration for upland birds and fast flushing game. The barrels retain their original blued finish with a matted ventilated rib, white front bead, and white mid bead. The gun is equipped with a single selective trigger and automatic ejectors.

The Superlight lives up to its name, weighing an incredibly light 5 lbs. 11 oz., making it an absolute joy to carry afield all day long. The balance point and handling qualities are exactly what knowledgeable Browning collectors and serious bird hunters seek in a classic Belgian Superposed.

The highly figured walnut stock and forend retain their original finish and sharp checkering, showing outstanding overall condition throughout. Dimensions are as follows:

Length of Pull: 14 1/4”
Drop at Comb: 1 3/8”
Drop at Heel: 2 1/8”
Cast Off: 1/8”

The gun remains in exceptional original condition and appears little used, with excellent metal finish coverage, crisp markings, and a clean overall presentation throughout.

Belgian Browning Superlight 20 gauges with this combination of condition, weight, barrel length, and handling characteristics have become increasingly difficult to find, particularly in such well-preserved original condition.
