Fox Collectors

I’m not sure but I will be playing it safe with 2 1/2 RST shells.

IMG_0426.jpeg IMG_0423.jpeg I have been on the hunt for a nice 28 gauge as I had yet to find one. Drove to the show in Lima,Ohio and came home with this. Built in 1918 it’s a non-ejector gun with 26” barrels that weighs only 5lbs and 5 ounces. I will be removing the pad and putting a butt plate bac...

My wife and I drove to the show yesterday as I had one gun I was trying to sell and one I brought along for “show and tell “. I was pleasantly surprised to bump into fellow Foxers Marshfellow and Foxnut. Both of them had spent a considerable amount of time to drive to Ohio and set up. Although I did...

These Colt shotguns were built from 1878-1889. This one was shipped to E.C.Meacham Arms Company in St. Louis on October 16th,1886,It does have the rib extension. I believe there were around 22,600 or so built. I have yet to see another having the bottom of the receiver sculpted like this one.

IMG_0304.png I’m in the process of getting my Colt restored. Even though there was major damage to the head of the stock due to many years of oil soaking into it I skipped re-stocking and am having it repaired.The gentleman doing the job for me sent this picture after he spent some time removing as...

Amen to that Brett. How fortunate we all are to live in the greatest country in the world!

I believe that there is pretty decent bird hunting on the big island.

My wife and I really enjoyed doing the display show.Lucky for me Brett was set up on the other side of the black curtain behind me. He had a fantastic display of Fox guns. It was great to visit with all the members of the Fox community who made the trip.

Getting my left hip replaced June 4th…Don’t think I’m gonna make it.

image.jpg Went to the Southern for my first time and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t been there yet. Spent most of my time at the Lefever booth but also visited a little with Jeff who had a great Fox display set up.While wandering through the tent I located an early Lefever sidecocker ...

Whoa,That’s a long drive. Hopefully, you will find something that you can’t live without. Safe travels home.

I have a Model 90 as well.Got it out and truthfully,I like the 430 more. The grip on the Marlin is pretty slim,and the single trigger is not my favorite. Nicer wood on the 430 along with a bit of engraving on the receiver. Also,the Jostam pad has held up well over the years but the Marlin pad is as ...

28” barrels Mod & Full

image.jpg I have a deep affection for the 16 gauge.However,finding an American made over under severely limits your choices. I got lucky yesterday and found a nice Savage model 430. Savage built these during the late 30’s and early 40’s. They also made a model 420,the difference being that the 430 ...
