Fox Collectors

Your gun was made in 1910. Check this website under Fox Gun Grades-BE Directory for photos of the early and latter B grade models. I don't know your location, but a good double gunsmith can give you an evaluation as to repairs and condition.

The old girl sports a pair of #3's. It had a spalled up hard rubber plate on it and I changed to a Galazans 1" pad. Gun weighs in at 7lb 1oz if my scale is right. Haven't hunted much with it yet,but shot some doubles trap a couple times and managed to hit most of 'em. I think it might have a fe...
