AE 1910

12 Gauge
What would be the chamber length?
I received a Callahan letter but CL not mentioned.
I'd like to use this on geese this season and also looking for shell recommendations. RST site says they are out of nontox.

Thanks

Re: Rebates

Most appreciative of the explanation and pictures.
Rebates are a subtle nuance, aren't they!

Also,thanks for posting pictures of the transitions that occurred over time at the wood/metal synapse.

Rebates

Please assist on helping me understand the anatomy of a shotgun.
What are the "rebates".

I got MM's Fox book this morning as a Christmas present, first edition.
On page 159 it says, "XE frames were filed with rebates at the top and bottom tangs".

Thanks,
Vernal

Re: Barrel number and weight

Most appreciative Dave.
I only have 3 fox's so far, as a newcomer to the cult, and none of them have the barrel number marked.

Barrel number and weight

Is there a table here, or on the members side, that lists the actual barrel weights and numbers per gauge and length? And what would be the wall thickness of the 4 barrel weights? For example, I have recently picked up an early AE, like the one pictured on the home page, in 12b with 30in barrels sin...

Utica Sterlingworth 16 chambers

Did Savage ever produce 16's with 2-3/4 inch chambers as standard length, or were they always 2-9/16?

Thanks

T.B., Stan, And Jim, thanks for your input. I also appreciate that you have "axed" for pics. In fact, it's a thrill to have you interested in my first Fox. I find it thoughtful and considerate of you and I sincerely mean that. (Initially I thought that "that" ending the last sent...

Re: Anyone into Llewellins?

Highway Dan, one of the most famous Llewellen setters of all time.

Last summer I considered a pup out of Highway Rex (son of Dan) and spoke to Mr. Gaines about it.
But eventually decided on a pup from Hank's line, King lineage.

This question was posed on another forum, but I ask specifically with regard to the proper care of a vintage Fox. Years ago when obtaining my first MX8, I followed the advice of Giacomo, the master Perazzi gunsmith, and since then have only used oil on the hinge and knuckle for all my guns. I'd like...
