Fox Collectors

At my age I'm trying to stay away from projects especially for a 12ga A. It is a very pretty gun with lots of condition. Many of the barrel guys could resolder the rib without the need for a reblue, but I don't want to take the risk. It seems to me Bass Pro/Cabela's is listing more used SxS's lately...

Congratulations Craig, 18053 has beautiful wood. Back to 27043, I always find it interesting when the right barrel is choked tighter than the left. Does this mean it was for incoming birds like doves or driven pheasants? That would be my guess. If the A is a keeper it will make the travel team to S...

I'm on a roll with Bass Pro this Month. These are the type of condition guns that i like used but not abused.

Nice wood and good dimensions for me. Nice pheasant gun. Made during what I call the puddy colored CC p...

I believe it is against the rules to post a link to items for sale in the open forum.

Correct Dave link deleted.

I decided to gift the BE to my son Doug. He owns a nice CE 12/30 and a 16ga Sterlingworth that came from the estate of my long time friend Larry Howk. I'm blessed to have a son that loves to hunt and shoot with the old man.

What bluing process was used on early circa 1907 Fox trigger guards?? They look Nitre Blued ? Thanks Craig

Well I've packed up my guns for the Southern. Two Foxes, a XE 16/30 and a Sterlingworth 16/30. Two Parker 8s, a PH 8/36 and a GH 8/36. Traveling with Mark Kircher a good friend. Nothing to sell at the Fox Booth this year. Looking forward to shooting Deep River, Drakes Landing and Kidd's Place this y...
