Fox Collectors

Jeff, what a great gun and a most impressive effort on your part to remove the pad and fit the buttplate to your correct dimensions! I remember "strongly encouraging" you (aka browbeating) to buy that gun at Ernie's. Now that you have it in hand and the way you want it, just remember what ...

Thanks Guys! - The subtleties of these long-barreled smallbores (LBSBs) are indeed interesting - this gun weighs 6lbs. 3 oz. on my digital postal scale, with barrels only weighing in at an even 3.0 lbs. Although the barrel number (wt.) marks are struck out and no longer visible, this corresponds clo...

I bought this 16. ga. 30" Sterly from a walk-in 'gent' the opening hour of the NE SxS at Hausmann's this June. It had a bad stock; someone had tried to raise the DAC by cutting the back end off at the rear grip checkering border, then angling it upwards before double-end screwing it with thread...

Another "JTWWLTFT" (pronounced 'Jetwullifta') Fox Gun - Just The Way We Like To Find Them! Kevin

A very nice event and a great display - well done! As Daryl said, I wished it were closer! Kevin

Thanks to all for the feedback and the great pics! Looks like it was a real blast (pun intended!!). Kevin

Great event Mike. Thanks for having it. So is that it? We need pics, stories, drama, cliff'-hanger shootoffs and the like! Outstanding event! I really wanted to attend but with my car all smashed up and in the body shop for repair, plus the grandkids making the local swim club All Stars finals, dut...

Most fun target presentation on the course and drove me absolutely CRAZY!! Broke one of every simo pair but never could get to the second target in time or in the sight picture I wanted. Reminded me of skipping stones off a millpond with the second one cutting on an afterburner! After regular scorin...

Thanks to all for the kind words! I have always felt that part of our booth display philosophy should be to offer examples of what the casual observer interested in Fox guns might never otherwise see: high grade guns in varying gauges, custom upgrades, specialty (trap & skeet) guns, cutaway guns...

Years ago one of my double gun mentors taught me the first thing you do after buying a "new" gun and its clear you own the gun BEFORE you shoot it is to go over the forend and action and using the proper screwdriver bits, tighten EVERY screw to the proper tension. The screws may not "...

DGJ I&R arrived in NOVA land today. Interestingly, no prior routing info, notifications, or other in-route notations (per some earlier posters) were received along the way - it just showed up in the regular mail. Kevin

Raising a glass as always to one of my closest hunting buddies, Fritz Meck, New Holland PA, Spec 4, USA, 187th of the 101 st Airborne ("Rakassans"), Viet Nam 1965-1968. Smoking a fine imported cigar and downing a premier single malt Scotch in your honor buddy. God willing I'll see you on t...

I remember years ago going to a PGCA Annual Meeting at/as guests of the OCCA Show in Cleveland OH (?) where Randy displayed about all of his .410 and 28 ga. Parkers. The show committee put up theatre cords in front of his tables so onlookers wouldn't swoon and fall into his wares! Kevin

We are fortunate enough to have our own small (c. 10-11 birds) flock of wild turkeys right here in the wild suburbs of NOVA, I notice that every time it rains, they emerge from the safety of the woods onto the open lawn area to feed immediately as the rain stops. Sometimes (I guess when they're hung...
