Fox Collectors

I have a 1927 A Grade 16 gauge that weighs in at 5 lbs 12 oz. Grandma bought it in the 1930's to shoot crows in the garden.

I've learned some interesting things about my Foxes here and appreciate all the people who answer questions and help others learn about their guns. But I mostly read. I only have 2 Foxes, or according to some people one of them is not really a Fox because it's a Model B. And I only poke around the o...

It's the letter "O" not a zero. "O" = 1963

It's an "O" not a zero. It probably looks like "0" because the stamped letters are scrunched up width-wise.

"O" = 1963

Lots of Fox Model B info here in this recent thread: http://www.foxcollectors.com/My%20Forum ... f=2&t=3801

Dumped both barrels at a woodcock last Saturday and it got away clean - just too far out I think, maybe 40 yards, which is way too far for spreader loads through IC / Light mod chokes. 40 yards is a long shot and patterns will be pretty sparce even without the spreader insert at that distance. But,...

I bought a few boxes of the Polywad Spred-R loads this fall - 16 ga 2-1/2", 7-1/2 shot. Dumped both barrels at a woodcock last Saturday and it got away clean - just too far out I think, maybe 40 yards, which is way too far for spreader loads through IC / Light mod chokes. Would have been better...

I tried to check out the pics but it's a private album. Can you just post with the IMG code for the pics?

Thanks! Here's a picture of my setter, taken last Saturday in Maine. I had a great day - the dogs found 15 birds, I had shots at six and missed them all. I was NOT using the Fox because it was pouring rain all day, but instead used my Browning 525 Field 16 gauge. If the measure of success was to sho...

Ok here's some close ups. There are a few spots of rust, the case colors are OK on the sides & top, but not so much on the bottom of the receiver. I don't think Gramdma was much for gun care, and this one spent a lot of time in a corner of a closet. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa472/NJGS...

Thanks - interesting info. My gun is definitely pre-'68 because it does not have a serial number. Sounds like it was made between 1955-1958. It has 3" chambers, but does not have a ventilated rib.

Hi everyone, I was poking around here a bit and thought I'd sign up. I have an AH Fox A grade in 16 gauge (SN: 3025XX) that I inherited from Grandma - she said she bought it to shoot crows in the garden back in the 30's. I don't know exactly what year it was made (maybe someone can help with that qu...
