Re: Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge - Gets harder to open
Interesting information. I am using AA reloads with Winchester 209 primers. I will load up some Remington cases and see if that makes a difference. Maybe I am fooling myself with gun warming up factor.

Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge - Gets harder to open
I am fortunate to own a nice 1934 vintage Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge with 30 inch barrels. It was shipped from the Savage factory in Utica, NY.

Re: A.H. Fox at the Rock
My first time at the Rock, need clarification. How do I qualify for the Fox Parker Challenge? Is this different from the Big Bore/Small Bore Challenge?
Do you have to shoot the same gun to qualify?

Re: Short chambers and Keel replacement
Will anyone be at the Southern Side by Side and have the tools to measure the cost the chambers on an early A 12 gauge and/or a 20 gauge Sterlingworth?
