Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Pre-War ('31-'39) Browning Superposed - ***Pic heavy***

You don't see one of these for sale every day. Serial numbers 1-17,000 were produced from 1931 through 1939.

Mine is 10,xxx serial number Matte Rib 12 ga Superposed. Modified over Improved, single selective trigger, ejectors. Blueing on the barrel is excellent, showing some wear on handling areas of the gun. All screws in good shape, locks up tight, functions 100% perfectly. I've hunted with it the last two years. Frankly, I just don't shoot it worth a crap, and I'm not into collectibles.

Recoil pad added at some point, and it has a crack in the forearm. I have never been able to remove the forearm from the gun. I don't know if I don't know how, or if it's stuck. I'm not prepared to try and force it.

I figure it would be worth $2500 - $3000 without the crack and the added recoil pad, and we'll assume a stuck forearm.

I'll take $2250 shipped.

I would ideally like to take a 20 or 16ga Browning A5 + cash. I will also entertain trades for Zeiss or Swaro RF's, Rem 700 SS short actions, LA McMillan hunting stock. 1.5-5 or 2.5-8 Leupold/Zeiss scopes.

I'll give this a day or two here before posting on Shotgunworld.com. High-res pics available to serious buyers.

"we'll assume a stuck forearm"

i dont think these are made to come off.....as i have 2 and the first thing i tried to do was take it apart....remember reading somewhere that they are not removable....
good luck with the sale

That would make more sense. I have a book that shows removal, but it's for a later model super. It functions too good for it to be messed up. I actually just figured I was ignorant!

Anybody looking for a Pre-war super for Christmas?

$1000 shipped to your door.

I have a 50's model, and to remove the forearm unlatch the release lever and slide the forearm forward about a inch and a half. It should come off then like a regular forearm. Hope this helps.

I appreciate the advice. Mine won't slide forward that far without some force, andI'm too chicken to do it!
