Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this less common and desirable over-and-under shotgun for a penny-start auction; this is the Browning Superposed Superlight Grade I!
This particular Browning Superposed is especially desirable thanks to its less common straight-grip stock, a configuration favored by many upland hunters and competitive shooters for its fast, natural handling and classic European styling. Even more distinctive is its setup as a 12-gauge platform fitted with 28-gauge Kolar Arms AAA Max tube inserts, a premium sub-gauge system known for its exceptional durability, precise fitment, and minimal impact on balance. Kolar’s AAA Max tubes effectively convert the host shotgun into a true sub-gauge performer, allowing shooters to enjoy reduced recoil, tighter shot patterns, and the advantages of 28-gauge ammunition while retaining the familiar feel of their 12-gauge Superposed. This combination of rarity, versatility, and high-end engineering makes the shotgun an appealing choice for collectors and serious clay-target enthusiasts alike.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning Superposed Superlight Grade I is already a desirable configuration within the Superposed lineup, and this 1969 example stands out even further due to several uncommon features. The straight-grip stock—a less frequently encountered option on 12-gauge Superlights—gives the gun a fast, instinctive feel appreciated by upland hunters and competitive shooters alike. Paired with the 26½-inch ventilated rib barrels choked Improved Cylinder and Modified, the platform offers lively handling without sacrificing versatility. The Grade I engraving and classic blued finish maintain the clean, elegant aesthetic characteristic of late-1960s Belgian production, while the gun’s overall weight and balance remain true to the Superlight philosophy: quick to the shoulder, responsive, and optimized for demanding field use.

What elevates this particular example beyond standard Superlight configuration is the inclusion of Kolar Arms AAA Max 28-gauge tube inserts. Known for their exceptional durability and precision machining, Kolar tubes convert the 12-gauge host into a true sub-gauge performer, expanding the gun’s utility into low-recoil clay-target disciplines and 28-gauge field shooting. The system preserves the gun’s balance while delivering tighter patterns and improved shot control typical of well-regulated sub-gauge tubes. Together, the straight-grip stock, desirable barrel length, and premium Kolar tube set create a combination that appeals strongly to both collectors and serious shooters—offering rarity, versatility, and high-end engineering in a single, well-preserved Superposed platform.
