Over the years I've owned over a dozen Superposeds. Right now I have only a solid rib, double trigger FN Superlight, a vent rib American market Superlight and two FN Special Trap No. 6 Bunker guns with the mid width rib and Mark 5 triggers.
I was surprised to read the comment that Brownings have the reputation of loosening up quickly. My experience has been exactly the opposite.
I had a standard weight 28" skeet gun that I personally put 103K through at IntSk. I'd bought it used and when I sold it locking was a little loose, but still adequate. I had another FN Superposed bunker gun that I put 80K through and it was tight as a tick when I sold it. My current FN Special Traps are medium mileage now, but the barrels still have to be manually pushed down when the lever is opened. They won't drop of their own weight.
I get to see a lot of guns in my job, but the Superposed has always been something special. And, yes, they are a bargain here in the US used market. A new Grade I from the Browning Custom shop starts around $17,000. That is not a misprint.
