Fox Collectors

I have nearly enough interest in a H gun to have bid on this one, but forgot to check back in on it during the auction. Wouldn't have gone that high for it anyhow, hopefully someone here caught it. https://www.proxibid.com/Guns-Military-Artifacts/Shotguns/A-H-Fox-Side-by-Side-12-Gauge-Shotgun/lotInf...

I had a M21 Skeet 12ga with WS1/WS2 chokes, do not remember the constriction before the flare of the WS1, just that it had one and seemed right for Skeet. I did pattern it and found it shot as expected, the shells I used were 7/8oz reloads with Winchester's gray wad. I kept the loads light due to re...

Bought a 16ga Ideal this past year, I broke it down and put the forearm back on the barrels for transportation and found it would not come back off. The release roller barely moved, not enough to actually unlatch. I took the gun to the LC Smith booth at Pheasantfest last week and the guy manning the...

IMO Thin shell walnut grown in different areas of the world does look different based on the various types of soil they are grown in. If you look at almost every Parker Reproduction shotgun made with California English Walnut you will find blonde background wood with darker mineral streaks. To me b...

The earliest A.H. Fox Gun Co. catalogs use the term English walnut for the A- to D-grades and Circassian walnut for the F-grade. By a couple of years later the D-grades also were listed with Circassian walnut and when the XE-Grade was introduced it also was listed with Circassian walnut. Between th...

“ The guy set himself as an expert and elitist with the single purpose in life of being the greatest upland grouse and woodcock hunter. He then writes at length about taking 34 years to figure out his Fox gun had poorly regulated barrels. These barrels did not change regulation. Any decent shooter ...

"Thin shell" often "European thin shell" is a generic term for Juglans regia (aka English Walnut, French Walnut, Turkish Walnut, Circassian Walnut, etc. all depending on where it is grown). This is what I have heard about English Walnut, that it is named for where it was grown. ...

Beautiful Ithaca, and nice-condition BL Beretta in that rack as well.

Is that a Gordon or Irish with the Pointer and English Setter?

Scary! As a habit I do not leave powder in presses although I don't think it should cause clumping. A friend showed up for Skeet league one day and his Citori sounded like a cannon. He came off station 1 and I asked about his reloads. He said they were done as usual but I had him go buy some factory...

Thank you for the illustration, I've wondered how barrels were joined as it seems they would be brought closer to parallel around 8" from the muzzles or so, then the exteriors filed for external straightness of line. Either that or the chokes would be cut so as to reduce the angle of barrel con...

Did the idea man say how they keep the focus on starting kids down the hunting path? Road hunters and grumpy old men are pretty much unavoidable but they should be able to reach the original goals, via restricted dates or areas or ????

Thanks, gents.

Are the 16ga and 20ga Sterlingworth stocks (frames, etc.) close in size to where a semi-inlet stock should work on either of them?

Nice gun! Fair warning, you may sign up and then find no information about your particular gun is available. A chance worth taking though.
