Fox Collectors

That is an absolutely stunning gun! With a lot of special features not usually seen on German guns, from a styling and embellishment standpoint. The action is commonly seen on Colath guns. The wing nut safety is on when alighted with the rib, and off when perpendicular to it. When the safety is on, ...

wrap the plug in one layer or two of electrical tape. that will snug it up.

Edit, I did not see the above reply suggesting the same thing initially.

The lock screws used on the fax guns are all the same regardless of position. There are 4 of them used on the gun.

Eightbore asking for pictures... that is rich!

Is this a Double trigger gun? Or a Single Trigger?

On double trigger guns, apart from needing a cleaning, a common issue is a weak sear spring.

I know exactly who you are speaking of and believe me, you are not the only one in the same situation. It is completely laughable and he should be ashamed of how he is treating customers that trusted him with their commissions. Nobody seems to have any issue outright lying to people these days in th...

If the gun is tight, dont worry about it

Who recommended that you re-case the gun? I am curious.

If you mean Macon (not Mason), stay away from them entirely. They are horrible. I cannot believe they are still in the business.

If you do mean MASON. Then I dont know, I have never heard of them.

Re-Case hardening a frame should only be done if everything else is being done. And done correctly I may add. it is the LAST thing that should be considered. Nothing looks worse that a painted up gun wth old refinished wood or worn engraving. Slapping lipstick on a pig is a big business for some. An...

The stock on the gun, on top of being damaged, is also not original and pretty poorly made/shaped. Sure the damage as it is can be repaired. But would you want to throw good money after bad? But it would of course be far less than a proper replacement.

Single triggers on double guns are the dumbest thing going. If you feel like you must have one. Make sure to keep Dans number handy and hope he is willing to fix it WHEN it malfunctions. He would be the best option for the time being.

Anything can be done, but realistically it looks like a Parts gun to me. What I find interesting is that the gun appears to have been previously "restored". Re-case collared action, refinished and embellished wood. But the barrels got that bad from poor storage after the fact. Or something...

It is a nice gun. Of good quality.

is your top lever moved over to the right when trying to put the barrels on the gun? That is the first step. If it will not move over, then it could be jammed up. This can happen sometimes when the lever is tripped over hard under spring pressure without the barrel on the gun.
