Fox Collectors

The short Virginia season that is in the middle of the other two, around Thanksgiving is usually good. I normally go on Thanksgiving morning but it rained the first two hours so as to not get me, Mosby, and my 1910 CE wet I waited until it stopped raining. By then most doves had gone. Anyway the 12 ...

The first question a pawn shop asks is "How much do you want for it." Then they bargain down. So if they sold it for $750 or less, they would not tell me what they got for it, one can guess they bought it for a few hundred dollars. No one but an idiot or a thief would be so dumb as to walk...

I left my name at a local pawn shop for Fox guns if any came in. Did not recognize the number on an incoming call so I did not answer. A few hours later I checked the message and I was told they had taken in a 20 GA 1912 Sterlingworth. I called and was told it had sold immediately. I inquired about ...

A guy I worked with wanted an advantage so he brought me some of the paper Federal hulls they were using, with 1 1/8 #9s. He asked that I load something special for him, 1 1/2 ounces of 9s. He said when the switched out shells went off, the difference was obvious. I would guess they watched him clos...

Frank,

Thanks for the reply. Having given up on finding replacement parts we are currently having the worn parts micro welded up and fitted by a very competent gunsmith. I had hoped to have it in hand for the end of dove season in January but September is right around the corner.

Nice job Stan. Our season went out on the 21st of January. I miss dove hunting. But I couldn't find six dove hunters here within a hundred miles in January. Like the Hawkins pad. I have to lengthen my guns and that is a good looking pad to me. Who makes your blind? I use one but mine has heavy wire ...

This Fox Sterlingworth was pretty much useless to me with full and extra full chokes. But as one can see it has a pad I added and a blued receiver done by someone else. I know one should probably not do it but I had to make the gun useful. I sent it to Mike Orlen and had the right full opened to Imp...

Gentlemen, The ejector parts in the forend of my early model CE are worn and do not work correctly. One ejects weakly and the other fires the shell into the breech face before it can clear. Is this something that one will never locate the parts for? Should I just give up and disable them, or just le...

Thank you so much! A question on the tip. Is it rounded and goes into the rib or is it above the rib?

Would someone kindly post for me a photo of the correct forearm checkering pattern for guns in this range? 12 gauge. Thank you very much.

As soon as I get a gun out of the safe Mosby jumps up and down and barks like crazy. So I have to leave him in the bedroom and make a silent escape. Will take him Friday for geese to keep him happy.

I don't tell him about it. But one day I did not have any rabbit dogs so I took him. We never jumped any but if we did he may have never come back chasing it until he caught up with it.

The Old Dominion

As one gets older we revert in many things to our childhood. I am hunting with my cousin who has the dogs and is approaching eighty years. His grandsons go and I started out rabbit hunting with his dad, my uncle in the 1960s. Except for all the leg cramps I get at night now along with the briar cuts...

Jim,

Par boil then flour them adding salt and pepper and brown first on both sides, then fry at a simmer. But what I miss the most is my mother's gravy she used to fix with them, and I can't master the gravy like she could.
