I've seen numerous Browning O/Us that open themselves after the first shot. Not Superposeds, but later guns without any abuse or neglect. Must be something about the design.

Stan,
Superposed will do the exact same thing if the locking bolt and top lever spring are worn or broken. The cool thing is....anyone, and I mean anyone can put in a new spring or locking bolt very easily. The Citori & it’s clones are a lot of new shotgunners first “fancy” gun....most of them care for them cosmetically...But mechanically abuse them. Slamming them shut, not cleaning them properly, etc. most will continue to shoot the gun even though they suspect something is not right too.
The height of the Superposed & Citori receiver is most definitely crucial to the design.
