I have a Browning Superposed 12 ga shotgun. How do you tell what the chokes are? It doesn't seemed to be marked on the barrels.
Thanks!

The older Brownings have symbols, asterisks and etc, to indicate choke. Check page 11 from this old manual:

My dad bought the Superpoised I have in 1954. Mine also has never had a screwdriver put to it. It has an issue with the single trigger selective fire. The first barrel will fire but when you pull the trigger a second time nothing. When you slide the safety back on you hear a mechanical click then sliding the safety off the second barrel will fire. No doubt an old oil issue. Never felt I was a good enough gunsmith to take it apart and not put a mark on it.
The Superposed style shotguns use an inertia block to set the trigger for the second barrel to prevent doubling. This link details a Citori but they're similar:

Personally I would contact Browning for a list of qualified repair shops if I needed any work done on a double shotgun.
Several years ago I had a Winchester 101 that started doubling and took it to a premier gunsmith local to the area. All it needed was a through cleaning.

I would think that if your local Browning warehouse didn't have a qualified gunsmith on staff they could point you to somebody that specializes in Browning shotguns.
The other route would be to get a copy of Double Gun Digest If your not aware it's the magazine for all the high dollar double rifles and shotguns. There are always many gunsmiths advertising in there. Being in Missouri I would almost bet there is somebody close to you that would be qualified to work on it.
