Fox Collectors

Every time I visit the forum I have to log in with my user name and password to access the members only area. Even if I hit the “remember me” before tapping on log in. I know there were some changes made a short while back. Is anyone else having this issue?

They had a show there not too long ago. I went to the OGCA website and there look to be at least 4/5 different venues over the course of the next year.Can’t say if they have found a permanent location for their shows yet.

I thought that I would share this here as I recognize the fact that there are several members here who are also fans of the guns produced by the Lefever Arms Company. This coming weekend June 21/22 the Ohio Gun Collectors Association will be putting on their annual display show.Venue for this event ...

I took a 16 gauge W.C.Scott to him that was considerably off face,he did a great job for me. He also put ejector guide pins in my SPE and repaired the non-selective single trigger. I’m fortunate that he’s only about an hour or so away from me. Matthew Begley

Pretty good attendance Brett.Weather could be nicer.At least it’s not raining or snowing.

Time in the field with your dog and a gun is time well spent whether you come home empty handed or not.

Working the under-lever is what cocks the gun.

Yes,that is the safety Stan.It’s in the off position.When it’s in line with the barrels it blocks your line of sight. I’ve seen similar ones on other European made guns.

Thanks for the interest.It’s chambered for 2 9/16 shells. Chokes appear to be a light-modified and full.LOP is right around 13 3/4 inches.DAH….2/14 DAC….1 3/8. Measurements are as close as I could figure.What impressed me was the way the stockmaker had to inlay some smaller pieces of wood to fill in...

This one bears the name of A.Richter of Cottbus,Germany a town near the Polish border.Guild guns were usually a collective effort of men with skills in a particular field.Barrel maker,stock maker etc.Put them all together and you wind up with what is commonly known as a “Guild gun”. This one is a 16...

Been looking for a small bore graded Lefever with steel barrels for quite a while.Picked this up at my FFL the other day.A 16 gauge G grade with Royal steel 28 inch tubes.Weighs in at just over 6 pounds.Dates to early 1913.Couldn’t be happier.

Yes it was.I heard that the number of display tables was down from last year.No selling from display tables but there were probably over 400 other tables to shop from.I came home with a Smith&Wesson model 422 target pistol.I’ve wanted to get into the OGCA for several years and became a member la...

I’ve had Matthew work on several of my guns .Never been disappointed.I’m lucky,he’s only a little over an hour or so away.

The show was pretty good.There was that C grade a couple of 12 gauge A’s, a well used 16 gauge A, and few 12 gauge Sterlingworths on the tables.Nothing outstanding.Most interesting guns I saw were two Marlin 22 caliber Thompson style machine guns.Being a dual member whose Lefevers have begun to outn...

Just got home from the Ohio gun collectors show.Saw a 12 gauge C with a single trigger.A two barrel set at that.Both barrels had been cut.I felt ill.
