Fox Collectors

Silvers: Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I guess it is really not meant to remove then; unless, as you say, something is broken. Is there a source for yoke screws or are they hard to find?? There is much more hidden rust inside the rest of the guts. I will see where I get without removing the ...

My little project languishes on a corner of the bench. This screw is still in place after a long soak and the application of more torque than should be necessary to remove any screw. Discovered the screw has been punched. Is this "factory" or a post-factory procedure to lock the parts toge...

Thanks. I'll give that a go. Totally agree re: bits. I purchased a full set and the thin set from Brownell's a couple years back and have never regretted paying that up front price, as a buggered original screw is... well, just that - buggered.

Cheers,
Jack

Just another guy chiming in to say thanks for this information. I have a Sterlingworth and had asked about disassembly. This poor gun has seen far too much neglect over the years. If it were just a matter of "grunge" clean up, a good soak and blow dry and relube might do it but once the ru...

Thanks for the replies gents. Starting to get an itchy trigger finger. Pheasant season is still 10 weeks hence but it seems every year about this time the air has an old familiar scent to it that puts me in mind of roosters for dinner. I'll have to pass this gun along before the 70-80 years expires....

Thanks. Unless I'm missing something, the instructions under Mechanisms/Disassembly show how to remove the stock and the instructions and pictures are perfect. This does leave you with sears in hand. I followed that to the letter but I don't see yet how to completely disassemble the rest of the acti...

I think I have gone through the items here. The tab on removal of the buttstock is great info and worked for me. I want to do the entire gun, including completely disassembling the action components to rid the gun of many decades of accumulated grunge. Removal of attached barrel components was strai...

Hi: Just received my first Fox gun. It is a Sterlingworth 32" barrels with ejectors F/F. It is in need of some cosmetic attention, so it will also be completely disassembled/cleaned/reassembled. I noted the corrugated nail in this one as well and wondered about it being a repair but it looked l...

Well it is an ejector gun and not working, so that's an easy pass. Thanks again, Jack

Thanks gents. I'll ask some questions and pass along the answers. Appreciate your insights.
Regards,
Jack

Gentlemen: I'm a hunter and have a few sxs guns but no Fox guns. Pretty sure I don't need another gun but came across this and got me thinking another gun won't hurt anything, since there is still a bit of room in the safes. Here is a link to some pics. It does not appear overly fancy but it is a Fo...
