Thanks for the video. Your 62 gun is a Lightning BroadWay trap gun most likely with mod/full chokes. The trap guns of this era came in two basic setups. The standard Lightning had a standard width rib and the BroadWay had the much wider rib. The standard rib guns tended to be slightly lighter through the front end due to the narrower rib. Those guns would also on occasion have the ribs get loose due to heat and such (ask me how I know)... The BroadWay gun ribs were quit a bit more durable with this. Through the life of the Superposed as a production gun there was a wide range of options that the buyer could choose for not crazy money. The reason for this is that the guns were most often sent to the Browning facility with full chokes and somewhat oversize stocks. if the shooter decided they wanted a non standard stock spec it was a straight forward option. Same for name engraving on the trigger guard, chokes, 3 inch chambers, recoil pads, and type of sights. I'm fortunate enough to own a 1939 trap gun with several of these non standard options.
Thank you for the information on my gun! I'm definitely excited to get out there and compare it to the Citori. Both are full chokes in the 32" barrel so should be a great trap gun!
Not that I know of. The safest way is to use snap caps to avoid dry fire. If it's an inertia trigger system like the superposed and citori you will need to smack the butt pad pretty hard to release the second pin.

I have a 1951 field grade Superposed with 30 inch barrels (choked full and improved modified). Shoots great. Just a classic!
Thanks for sharing your experience, they are truly classic guns!

After cocking this weapon, is it possible to disarm without having to dry fire?
