Fabrique Nationale Designer John Browning, Val A. Browning Browning Superposed The Browning Superposed was last firearm to be designed by John Browning and one of the first over-under shotgun designs to be commercially produced. John Browning had envisioned it as the last gun the government would ban from private ownership and was designed to be the first over under shotgun that was affordable to the general population.

In 1969 Browning started using two digits for the date of manufacture: K=BLR Lever Action Rifle. This was then followed by the serial number beginning with 1000. Example: 69M1000 = A 1969 BAR High Power rifle with a serial number of 1000.

Previous guns of a similar design had been priced out of the average man's reach. After his death in November 1926, the design work was completed by his son Val A.

Most importantly, the single selective trigger mechanism that he wanted for the Superposed had been finished by Val. Initially, and until 1939 the Browning Superposed fired via a double trigger set up. Val Browning's SST remains one of the very best and most reliable such triggers ever designed.

The Original production grades were offered in the following: Grade I (Lightning/Standard), Pigeon, Diana and Midas. In 1975 the Superposed was dropped from the regular Browning catalog but is still available through Browning International's Custom Shop. It should be noted that all Superposed guns are hand engraved and the engraving on the high grade models can be very detailed, and the select French Walnut stocks are also of very high quality. Superposed Variations: Browning Superposed guns have been offered in all gauges from 12 to.410 guage, as well as in multi-barrel skeet sets. Typically barrel lengths are 26', 28', 30' and 32', and choke borings range from Cylinder to Full.
