Browning Superposed Grade I Trap Standard Weight Model Description
12 ga. only, various configurations. Introduced 1952.
Pre-war trap guns and those manufactured post-war until approx. 1955 were virtually indistinguishable from field guns as they had field style forearms, round knob (semi-pistol grip) and long tangs. The only way to tell the difference is they had a longer LOP (14 1/2 in.) and a shorter drop at the heel - 1 3/4 in. vs. 2 1/2 in. for field stocks. These early trap guns did not come with recoil pads. Between 1956-1960, trap guns had the forearm changed to semi-beavertail. These late guns with semi-beavertail forearms are very desirable today due to their rarity and overall desirability.
