The Mid-Century Icon: 1955 Browning Superposed

A "Round Knob" Era Classic | 12-Gauge | Serial No. 46185

There is a reason the Browning Superposed remains the benchmark for over-under shotguns. Crafted in 1955, this specimen comes from the highly coveted "Golden Era" of production at the Fabrique Nationale plant in Belgium. It represents the perfect marriage of John Browning's genius design and old-world hand-fitted craftsmanship.

Performance & Configuration

Built for the field and the trap line alike, this Superposed features the classic long-range configuration that defined mid-century hunting excellence.

• Barrels: 28-inch ventilated rib barrels, offering a smooth swing and a timeless silhouette.
• Choking: Fixed Modified (Bottom) and Full (Top). This is the quintessential "everything" setup—tight enough for high-flying waterfowl and perfect for late-season pheasants or clay targets.

• Length of Pull (LOP): 14 ¼", providing a standard, comfortable reach for the average shooter.
• Recoil Management: Upgraded with a vintage Pachmayr White Line Pad, a period-correct addition that offers superior cushioning and a classic look.
• Handling: Solid, bank-vault lockup and the effortless balance that makes a Browning feel like an extension of your arm.
