Re: OT: How ridiculous.....

Trucks, First of all are not an investment, lol I have several trucks/suv. They have 350K plus on them. They are Yotas. Still run like tops. But I change oil often and put oil additives in etc. Drive a little Corolla for gas mileage trips. I can't imagine justifying spending 65K on a pick-up. Gman

Stockmaker

I have a Sterlingworth stock that got broken on a hunt. Can you guys give me some names of stockmakers that you have had good results with?
I really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Re: Gun seizes up

Jerry,

Any chance you have a pic of the yoke and what it looks like? I don't know if I could see it without breaking the gun down.

Re: Gun seizes up

It does not lock open no. You can move the lever to right and the gun will not open. I've shot Fiochci and they do the same thing. The Remington black shells don't do it as much.

Gun seizes up

When I fire my Fox Sterlingworth several times at the range or field it was seize up, will not open. What is happening? I think the metals are expanding making it impossible to open up. When you let it cool for approx. a minute it will open up. Any decent options to eliminate this problem? Thanks St...

Re: Rooster Loads for my FOX 12 ga.

Mike, Sounds like you have shot a "few" Roosters. Yea I have to work the wind conditions in Kansas and they can be 10-50 m.p.h. all within a day. I really like 4,5's late season because your typical shot may be 50 yards when the birds are spooky. For some strange reason I can hit better be...

Re: What is it worth?

Birdawg, No Sir. I helped a friend out in need. If I wanted to sell the gun as-is, there are 4 major Gunsites and Chatrooms that only charge $10.00 to sell a gun. I wanted to ask Fox Collecters, because I am a Fox Collector myself. But I collect 16's mainly. I know I have too much money in the gun a...
