Fox Collectors

Did Fox ever send any guns out from the factory with checkered butts? If they did anyone have any pictures?


Thanks

Great pics Tom, been a tough year for grouse.

Say the serial number shows the gun was manufactured in the philly era but shipped in the savage era how would that gun most likely left the factory? Barrels struck as philly or Utica?

All buttoned up and ready to go. Gun will be shipped back next week in time for my MT trip.



new barrels in the white


restock

Some more progress on the barrels.

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately I am not at liberty to give out the stockers name. I have seen a couple of his stocks done and was very impressed. I sent him this gun on 11/9/16 and he sent me those pictures 12/20/16. Talk about turn around time!!! The 30" barrels are with Brian Dudley...

I received these pictures from the stockmaker last week. Not the best pictures but I am very happy with the turn out of the wood. Gun is now on its way to have a set of NOS 30" barrels added. Should be back in time to head into the grouse woods. Cant wait!!! http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...

Ha. That is my friend. I recently converted him into SXS and he bought a 16 ga sterly. I'll work on the hat next I am the taller lanky fellow in the tan pants

He is 4. My springer is 6 and I have a retired cocker at 13.5. I am facing the harsh reality that his end is coming very soon.

Got for a bit yesterday. Found the grouse were a little spooky but managed to find a few. Took one nice bigger male in the middle of an old growth. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa331/penglin79/Hunting/86DB4D09-A4AB-4FEB-8BCD-8104B694218D_zpsmogvq5yi.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa3...

Here are cyanide case colors from Rons Gun Shop. These were done last winter if anyone was curious about what their colors look like. I ended up selling the gun but I felt they did a good job on the restoration. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa331/penglin79/Guns/CEE367D7-3B43-4C06-A357-97CB9E9...

Malcom Clark did the case coloring.

Tom, thanks as always for your knowledge in blanks.

Have not been around much but thought I would share a few photos from my fall. Usually out in Montana for a week trip but with young families we stuck around Minnesota and chased the king. Here are a couple of pics of our trip. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa331/penglin79/Hunting/8B15A328-347...

Nice work...Looks good!!

Finally got the chance to go break the gun in on some clays. Can't wait for grouse to open!!!
