Nice gun with lots of condition. The only problem with small bore Foxes is that they are like eating peanuts, once you've got one you have to have another... and another... and....well you know the rest.

"Good Grief, Charlie Brown." What a gun. Is that a NO SHOC pad? Sure looks like one.

I have been shooting my 16 GA Sterlingworth for years, but didn't find out until joining this group that it had 2 9/16th" chambers. I have always shot standard and magnum 2 3/4" shells through it with no ill effects. I am now having this and my Philly 20 GA gun's chambers lengthened to 2 3/4".
These guns, along with a 12 GA Sterlingworth, will not be sold and will continue to give me shooting and hunting pleasure for as long as I am able.

My 3 Philadelphia made Sterlingworths. From top, 12, 16 and 20 GAs
