Fox Collectors

Thanks for the information jolly and vaturkey. The choke and bore gauge is on it's way. I'll also keep my eyes open for a Frank Mittermeier gauge. I will definitely get some measurements on the gun and see about shooting it. I'll also pass on the valuable information gained from all you guys to my f...

Thanks guys for the replies and pictures. Things are becoming a little more clear to me regarding this gun. It was awesome seeing the images of your Beautiful shotguns as Pictures can be worth 1000 words. That being said I'm still unclear on the key/keel with the barrels. I'll probably have to have ...

Very helpful. Thanks for the information. The serial number is 57108, and it's also marked model 1911. I'm going to go look at it again tomorrow and I will get some pics. From my measurements before the barrels were right on 26" and to my untrained eye didn't look like they've been cut down. I'...

Thanks Fred. Couple questions. What do you look for when checking Barrel integrity? I assume pitting but I'm not sure what else. Also how reliable is the dime test to determine choke? In the sterlingworth I mentioned previously a dime fits easily into each Barrel without touching either. By the way ...

I’m new to this forum as well as Fox shotguns. I’m looking to purchase a Fox shotgun to hunt wild quail, chukar, grouse, and some pheasant with over my bird dogs. I bird hunt out West in Oregon over a brace of setters and I have a buddy that has been shooting his beautiful Fox shotgun for years over...
