Re: 1912 Pin gun with Ejectors

I do not really understand the process of obtaining papers of provenance for this gun - dose one have to become a member of the fox collectors ass. to be able to request this?? The A.H. Fox Collectors Association, Inc. only have photocopies of the production cards for the graded double guns, A- to ...

Re: stock "cheeks" separating at receiver

thank you for the courtesy of a response Mr. David D! the gunstock Co. used a method that I came across after posting my question here- it was on a Parker website. i guess that Parker's have issues that are of a similar nature to what we are talking about here. please check out this link: http://par...

Re: Mystery Sterlingworth

Gun shops full of 16 ga Foxes. Sounds like an awesome place to be. Goodness! Hold your horses gentlemen! And let me phrase that much more accurately: if and when a fox floats thorough one of our shops in the area it is invariably a 16 ga. Sterlingworth. And that is still distressingly uncommon And ...

Re: Mystery Sterlingworth

Just as an example, in this part of PA, Model 88 Winchesters go for about double what they do other places. There are plenty around but guys just don't want to part with them. $850 for a gun you can kill birds with is OK in my book. A bit of stock finish and a simple point pattern checkering on the...

Re: Mystery Sterlingworth

Great! that is good to know as the gun seems to be getting pulled off the rack at the range more and more. I had thought it might be more of a "novelty" item, except it's status seems to be changing into more of a "constant use" item. I am also hoping that the gun can take the od...

Re: Mystery Sterlingworth

Thank you Fullchoke! - Thank you for the clarification on the "anchor" use in the forearms of the Sterlingworth equipped with ejector. I had assumed that thee were no Sterlingworths made with an ejector as that represented an expense. thus, with that faulty assumption in mind, i never thou...

Mystery Sterlingworth

Hi Fox Collectors! I joined this forum in the hopes of finding out some information about a shotgun that i recently acquired - a Fox Sterlingworth. I am absolutely intrigued with this shotgun, so I thought i would show and tell, with the hopes of getting some feedback as to what it is that I have. I...
