eightbore wrote:Jim, the gun did not have a straight grip. There are many questions about this gun and I am trying to sort out the answers. This is the last, maybe the only, HE sent to the Ensley Carrigan Buckingham store before he ordered Bo Whoop. He writes about going on a Canadian hunting trip with a ten pound HE before he owned Bo Whoop. This gun has an Ellwood Epps (Ontario gun dealer) recoil pad and it was imported from Canada for the sale. This gun also weighs ten pounds, but loaded, not empty. I have some references about the Canadian trip and the ten pound pre Bo Whoop HE from his books, but have not reread them all looking for notes on the Canadian trip.
Bill, this story would make a great article for the Newsletter or DGJ.

Thanks, Craig. The gun in question is the last HE placed in the card file before Bo Whoop. The Canadian trip, before Bo Whoop, according to Nash, may mean that this is the "ten pound Fox" that Nash took on the Canadian trip. I don't know if my research will take me any farther.

2016 was a good year for me although I did not find the CE16 I have been trying to add to my care I was lucky enough to find a nice little original AE 20. Its a 28" M&F shipped 9/3/1915.
Also picked up a high condition SW 20 ga. Savage era no pics yet.
I hope 2017 will be the year I find the C grade 16 that I 'm look8ing for.
Happy and Healthy New Year to all my fox Comrades !
