Fox Collectors

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...

As always, great to be a part of it! Always nice to meet new prospective members, causal browsers as well as the remaining "Old China Hands" of the early days. This is the even to attend (as is Hausmann's in early June) to see some "walkabout" Fox guns we have never seen before. ...

Exactly, Frank! I had a very early (c. 190X) Parker VH 28 gauge that would chamber vintage shells OK but would barely close and bolt properly on more modern loads. Same situation as you describe; I watched as Del Grego used the rim cutter device to achieve the proper depth. Reminded me of using a ri...

The idio-tinkerer who tried to add metal to the hook cutout in the rib extension on my HE and wound up bending the left hand ejector stem rod in the process (too much heat?). Thanks to TOOL MAN, I bought it at a bargain price at the Greenwich Gun Show. It chambered shells or snap caps OK, trigger an...

About 2 years before "Eightbore" Bill Murphy, seminal Fox collector Peter Zinnsser, and I got exhibitors tables at the Old Baltimore Show (actually Timonium MD Fairgrounds 'Cow Palace' exhibition hall) tables, there was a man who had a tremendous display of E.K. Tryon memorabilia - I mean ...

Great shot, Dave! Who owns that pickup truck now? I want it!! What year and make? Clear title? Wish now I had never sold my '73 Dodge D100 with the 318 4-barrel, 3/4 ton suspension and the 250 PSI Gabriel adjustable air shocks! Kevin

Would have to be the "Amish Gun" - 20 ga. AE straight grip SFE extractor gun with 32" barrels - paints the sky for doves! Kevin

Usually 7.5 but to be sure check Deep River's website. Kevin

I think I remember owning a 32" SR Model 11 Remington 12 gauge with a barrel so marked. Kevin
