Re: $50 flea market early Fox A Grade shotgun

Hit the screw with a couple of seconds with a Bernz -O- Matic and then douche it with PB Blaster and let it sit overnight. I bet it turns the morning after. Kevin

Re: Chamber wall thickness

Hello Mike - I just got finished measuring two nearly identical guns to yours, both A grades, one chambered at 2 3/4", the other at 2 3/8" in preparation for selling both. These guns are 630 SNs and 4 years apart in production (1917 vs. 1921). I have no way of knowing if the earlier gun wi...
