Servicing the Browning Citori

Introduced by Browning Arms Company in 1973, the Citori is a direct descendant of John M. Browning's Superposed, the great gun inventor's last invention. The first Superposed models produced by Fabrique Nationale in 1930 had double triggers, one for each barrel. Browning's son, Val A. Browning, eventually redesigned the gun to have a single selective trigger, which allowed firing either barrel first by moving a thumb selector mounted in the receiver. The present day Citori and the Superposed—models of which are still available from Browning's Custom Shop—are practically identical, which is just further proof that John M. had few if any equals when it came to designing guns.
