I have been considering purchasing a 20 gauge Browning superposed for quite some time. I have a pretty good understanding of the market, and I love the superposed Browning for many reasons.
I'd really be interested in some informed opinions and good advice about the market for "upgraded" versions of these guns. For instance, it is my understanding that some of the engravers who did factory work on these, like Angelo Bee and others, also took superposed shotguns... and upgraded them to "Diana" or "Midas" grade guns, with similar or same engraving, wood, etc.
Generally speaking, are these "upgraded" shotguns worth less or more? Have you seen quality of the work on these guns as equal, or better than the Browning sold versions? Do I have the wrong understanding about these guns being "different" in the market than factory to retailer sold Browning superposed shotguns (meaning, is a Midas a Midas, as longs as it looks like a Midas, and engraved by the same person Browning used?)
One last question...Are there any mechanical changes or core differences, other than weight and stock configuration, between a superposed lightning and a superposed superlight, in a 20 gauge gun?
Thank you in advance for your wisdom, and your thoughtful responses.
