I took a look before replying to some of the questions above.
It has the normal extractor type of hardware on the forearm, so who knows.
I was quick to jump on it because the LOP is 14 7/8ths which is a great winter coat upland LOP for me.
It fits me much better than my other 20 Sterlingworth, which is also an extractor.

If I had a dollar for every Fox collector that asks me to find them a original small bore Sterly I would be wealthy. I also agree the other sleeper in Fox land is the 32" 12ga. On my wish list and I am not a small bore guy is a near mint 32" 16 or 20, talk about a needle in a hay stack gun but ya never know.
Count me as another one looking for 32" Fox guns. I own four, but all are 12s. Would really love to find a 16 or 20 I could afford. I've got a really nice Smith 32" 16 ga. ejector gun, but no Foxes. If I could find a 32" 16 ga. Sterly ejector for what I paid for my 32" Smith 16 ejector ya'll would hear me all the way to New York laughing. Sterlingworth pricing has left Field Grade Smiths pricing in the dust, comparing apples and apples, IMO.

My upgraded 16ga SW has ejectors as does a 12ga 30 inch gun I just bought as an upgrade candidate then what do you know but a great condition 12ga 32 incher pops up at a small local shoot. That one came home as well and it will stay as Fox intended it.
