My interest in handguns has waned a bit over the last couple years and fowling irons are taking the lead down the slippery slope.
I had an opportunity to shoot a very early 20 gauge superposed several years ago and swore I would someday get one.
The prices on the 20’s are going up steadily and thankfully I was able to grab an early 50’s vintage with 26.5” barrels and a solid rib. Shooter grade condition and that suits me fine.
The problem I have is the Superposed bug has bitten me hard and I am looking for a forum or website that I can glean good solid information from.
Does anyone here know of such a forum or site?
Any help would be very helpful

Keep your eyes open for a copy of Ned Schwing's book, Browning Superposed - John M. Browning's Last Legacy.

It's been out of print for a while and some sellers have high asking prices online, but it's packed full of valuable info and worth owning.

I don’t beleive there is a greater repository of firearm knowledge than one will find here among all the experts that are on this forum. I would do a search here. I know I have seen several threads on them since I have been a member here.

For example—Browning Superposed?

My 20 gauge Superpose has 28" tubes choked Mod/full, and my 12 gauge Superpose has 3" chambers and 30" tubes and is choked Full/Full. Both are from the Mid 60's and are Lightning models. The requirement for non-toxic shot has made Water Fowl hunting a bit pricey! The only shot these Brownings will take is Bismuth! But it isn't like Clays shooting, How many shots you going to take in season? I try and keep 40 rounds in stock for each of these.

You can find Browning info here:

Shotguns and more Shotguns! ShotgunWorld.com is your best source for Remington, Beretta, and Mossberg Shotgun information

Thank you to all the replies. Had a little time to look at some of the suggestions already. I will stay busy for a good while with what has been provided.

Wonderful guns,though 1966-1973 guns can be plagued with salt wood.
You will also encounter former salt wood guns which have been restored.
For those reasons,I would try to stick with the pricey section of the price curve: RKLT guns.

I've owned a number of other Belgian Browning models,but filled my desire for an O/U with a new Citori. I wanted a 28 gauge gun,and finding that in a Belgian would have required a lot of coin.

You might just do a search for "Shotgun forum" or something similar. That's the way I found this one, which has cost me a lot of money. :-)

Have a blessed day,

Leon

I was getting a little disappointed with the IDPA meets I was shooting when my son said "Dad, lets shoot the sporting clays course, we haven't done that in a long time." Something clicked that day and the 2 of us can't go to the gun club without the shotguns. I think heroin is easier to kick.
shotgunworld is about the biggest online. It can be good but it is nowhere near as active as here and nowhere near as friendly. Petty and opinionated breaks out in a heart beat!
Love the Brownings, but I found out they don't fit me well. My drug is Italian semi-auto's.

Still have the Superposed Lightning 20 that my Mom gave me for HS graduation in 1975. It was 26.5 IC/Mod. I was shooting a lot of skeet at a local trap & skeet club and shot the daylights out of it.

Within a couple of years the telltale rust started appearing at the joinery of the receiver and buttstock. I just kept it wiped and oiled, but it continued.
In the 90's I ran into a Browning Rep at an LGS and told him about the rust issue. That was when I learned about the 'salt wood' issue.
He urged me to send it in to Browning to address it.
I did, it was gone for about a year. When it was returned, it was obvious the receiver had been reblued and stock replaced.
I suppose that was all good, but the replacement stock didn't come close to being as pretty and figured as the original. And the forend they replaced didn't really match the stock all that well.

Anyway, still a great shotgun that'll be my last to get rid of.

I'm another that puts many more rounds through a shotgun than a handgun the past few years. Both Trap and Skeet, with some Sporting Clays. When I retired I wanted a shotgun I could rely on to take a lot more shooting, so I bought a Citori, Lightning Sporting Clays. Originally I used it for everything, but then bought a BT99+ for the trap shooting and just use the Citori for Skeet and occasional Sporting Clays. But, I also acquired a SKB 3 barrel skeet set (20, 28, 410), and for fun shoots a SxS 12 GA Ugartechea, with double triggers, and most recently a Winchester Mod 12 with 26" I/C barrel and Simmons Rib, which I haven't had the opportunity to shoot yet.

I'm a big fan of the Browning Superposed as I picked one up this year in 12 ga from 1956. I've gotten a lot of info from Shotgunworld.
