SP #137285 questions
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 9:58 am
Hi,
New to the forum and glad its here. I have a Fox-Sterlingworth SP #137285. It was given to me when I was 16. I took it out after not having fired it (or anything) for about 20 years. I took my 14 year old to a skeet and trap range and we had a blast. Unfortunately, a piece of the Walnut stock near the breach broke off and I did not find the piece. Where should I get it repaired? I live in Bethesda, MD, 20817.
Additionally, I noticed in another post that maybe I should not be using steel shot, or perhaps a weaker load? I was using the least expensive Remington # 7 load I could buy. Any recommendations. Do I have to retire this gun and just use it occasionally?
Thanks
