That’s such a good video. You answer a hundred questions in such clear language and with such a straight narrative. Very, very satisfying! Please do more, many more! (I come back five years later and see this video again and love it just as much. Long Live Competence!

My absolute favorite KZfaq channel. Love Browning firearms and y'all have shown me so many tips and tricks.

Excellent information! Thanks Art! I’m a huge Superposed fan!

La Browning que esta mostrando en este video creo que fueron las mejores de la marca. Yo tube la suerte de conseguir un B25 super trap y la use durante 24 años sin ningún tipo de problemas. De ahí mi fanatismo por esa marca.(para mi mejor que cualquier Escopeta Inglesa)que aparte cuestan una fortuna ,y no es para cualquiera.

Great video. My Dad just gave me his 20ga. Lightning he has had since it was new, it's a 1967. They are Beautiful Shotguns.

I just looked at the historical paper I got from Browning. My 1953 Superposed 12 gauge Grade 1 was sold at a Macy's Department Store in Herald Square in New York City. It sold for $188.11 ! If you don't have a historical record get one from Browning. It is a cool piece of history. Cost is $49.00 and worth every penny.

FN's fiscal year began July 1st of the preceding year, so an early 1931 gun was produced in the second half of 1930, kind of like today's new car models come out in the Fall of the year prior. Roughly 2000 guns per year in the pre-war years is a good estimate but it's not the gospel. For instance, in 1934 at the peak of the Depression, only 1 Superposed was shipped to the States, according to the Schwing book, Then Browning lowered the price about 30% and sales took off again. Thank you Art's for all you do to continue this gun's amazing Legacy.

I was passed down a grade 1 12ga. It has barely been shot so its super tight still. Great gun. I myself shot it once, which is the first time its been shot in over 20 years. Love it.

Thanks for the videos. There are 2 firearms that I regret not buying. The first was a mid 30's vintage Lightning with 30 inch barrels and outstanding wood for the grade of gun. The second was a early/mid 50's Funken engraved Diana for a very good price. I skipped the early gun because it needed a rebuild, and the 50's gun because I thought that someone had altered the stock. That was before I knew that Browning would do just about any kind of work on them. Of the 2 I REALLY kick myself for passing on the early gun. It was one of those guns that just fit and balanced perfectly!

Thanks for this video. I have a Grade 1, 12 gauge, 28” F/M fixed choke, S8 serial that’s thankfully NOT a salty and quite tight all around (haven’t be shot that much). It’s been passed down to me from my father. I was looking for such info around. What’s a bit strange about my gun is that the wood seems a lot darker than the Grades 1 I’ve seen all around on the internet. It looks more like a Diana or a Midas. I checked and the wood hasn’t been replaced because the s/n on the receiver matches that on the buttstock.

I found that very interesting. It’s still relatively straightforward to buy a new B25 - albeit they are quite expensive ( but not as pricey as a Perazzi). I’ve had my B25 B2g for around 6 years and had it customised to fit me. I love the lines of the gun and it’s a delight to shoot.

Many thanks. Just looked at my first Browning b125 C class 1986 good condition, i will probably buy this one now.

Thanks, I just bought an S71 and happy that I did. The action is still very tight. Shot it the first time tonight and it shot well.

The word 'genius', alas, is much overused, but John Moses Browning was exactly that. That all of these inventions and patents came from the mind of one man is truly extraordinary.

Thanks for the great info I have a 1931 superposed 12 guage myself and this gave me some good info in it

Excellent video! JMB was an amazing mechanical genius....proven by the fact that the US military is still using his .50 cal machine gun......has to be the oldest piece of ordnance in continuous use by the US military.

Thank you. Peace and love.

I’ve tried Berettas but I always come back to Brownings. I’m lucky enough to own a ultra Xs and a 525 both fabulous guns.

I sent my Broadway to arts gun to have the rib re soldered it lasted a week. I have won many doubles events. With a zip tie to hold the rib down. Arts the best. Just one of those things.

awesome as usual,thanks for the video.

The superpose is still available through the Browning custom shop and handmade at FN in Belgium.

I have a 1965 broadway. 32 inch long tang flat knob. My doubles gun. 2-100 straights in my day. At one time I had 6 grade 1s. A great shooter Loren Schmidt had . 2 midia 2 pointers two pigeon and a st000. and maybe 10 grade 1. I will be shootin my broadway tomorrow medicare day at Wenatchee GC. Art,s gun re did my loose rib.

Such a awesome video!

Always enjoy the videos

Looking forward to seeing more!

Me gustan Todos los videos relacionados con todaslas escopetas Browning. Yo soy un FANATICO DE ESA MARCA .❤😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

What does "Diana" stand for in Diana grade? Is that a reference to an historical figure, someone's wife or daughter? Just curious...

Thanks Brad for another great video. You may remember I was looking for a 3" superposed...I found a 1964 gun and am very pleased with the exception of the trigger which is 9# for the bottom barrel and 8# for the top. I read that others found the 3" guns to have heavy triggers as well...To your knowledge is this true and if so, why heavier than other superposed guns?

Dear friends, I own two Citori. Serial of hunting model is 05335RN153 and the trap one is 01030PX143. I live in Costa Rica here there is not a lot of options to find superb experts in Gunsmithing like you guys. I will like to blue the hunting model, build in 1979. My doubt is related to the solder. Can you give me a clue if in this model they use silver, tin or lead solder? This will determine which blue process I can choose. Thanks in advance.

I watched your video with great interest. I have a field grade 20 ga. superposed, with a serial number of 1476. I am wondering, since your video was about 12 ga. guns, if the production years are the same?

I recently purchased a 69 superposed lightning 20 , was wondering about the “salt guns” of that era ( watched your salt gun vid), don’t see any of the warning signs , so grade one should be ok? Usually high grade wood that received the salt treatment?

I have grade one with the serial number in the 15800's, which means it was from 1938. It was my grandfather's, then my father's, now mine, and one day it will go to my kid if she wants it. Or to my nephew, if she doesn't. She's rather small and it's a heavy gun.

What confuses me is I thought I read that the single trigger superposed with the barrel selector button came out in the late 1930s but mine has a 1931 serial number

AWESOME VIDEO. Very helpful for a Browning lover such as myself. Just hit the subscribe button.

thanks for sharing knowledge

Miss you guys.

Great Info Thanks Guy’s What is the Average Price in Today’s $$$ Money For The Different Grades Thanks In Advance 😀😎😊

I have a 1977 citori Imp Mod/Full fixed choke and thinking of reboring it to Mod on both barrels or maybe imp cyl/Mod for trap or upland game so that I can use steel shot. Thoughts?

If a S8 (1968) doesn't show salt damage by now, is it safe to buy? It is a English straight stock with a long tang.

I'm inheriting a 50s or 60s Browning Superposed soon (waiting for permits to clear) where the barrels are still good, but everything else is fucked. So its gonna be a fun project to rebuild it.

My grandfather shotgun was manufactured in 1936, and has two pigeons engraved on the side. Does that mean it is a grade 2?

I have 2 problems: On reassembly, I somehow got the firing out of sync: you showed the disassembly but not the proper reassembly of it. I fiddled with it until I thought I had fixed the first problem, but now it only fires the second barrel after I cycle the safety. It was my grandfather's gun I've never actually fired it, and by the time it came to me it hadn't been fired in 30 years, so the two problems may or may not be related. If you have any ideas I'd be grateful. Question 3: being that the ejection springs and firing springs are all loaded when closed up, should this gun be stored broken? (I guess once I get my previous problems sorted, if it goes boom after 30 years, that sort of answers my own question...) Theoretically what's the right way in your opinion to store this gun?

Is there any way to determine who the original owner was of a Superposed?

Awesome vid Art!

When you punch the cocking lever pin out on a Midas grade is the gold inlay replaced? I can only ask the best! Cheers!

Hi Art's Gun Shop, very nice video. I needed to date my B25. I wanted to make a clarification: there are also models with the suffix S9 which corresponds to 1969 (like mine) probably have changed the marks during the year.

hi i got 25c34 when it was made. thank you

What is the value of a B25 A1 pre-production in 20 gauge?

Are you guys out of La Habra Ca.?

The brass plate that sits under the back stock of some shotguns! What is it ? Does it have any function?

nice work

👏😊superb..TY 🇬🇧

Thank you ...

Is that Grade 4 "Mother of foxes" rare?

Those guns are stupid beautiful

what is the difference between the superposed and the B25`s?

How do I get a shotgun here in Colombia?

You said to give you a call or send eMail but did not give Phone Number or eMail address. Please provide info.

Hi

Don't buy a browning, their customer service is terrible. I just spent over $2,300 on a citori cx that has a factory issue they aren't willing to address.

Not really the history. You explained the grade system but you didn’t go into the models at all. That’s where the history is.

Just cut to the point you talk too much extra for nothing
