You're making me feel inadequate with my little 30" 20 gauge:(
I'll just have to live with it.

Re: Ejector Guide
Mike,
Thanks for your response. I talked to my local guy and he has a TIG welder - would this work as well as silver solder?

Ejector Guide
I just noticed that one of my ejector guide rods on my 12 gauge AE is broken. Of course, the broken part is stuck in the barrel. What does repairing this involve? How necessary is it to fix this? I was shooting it this last weekend and did not have any problems.
Thanks,
Jeff

Re: Tight Chokes!?
My 30" 20 gauge Sterlingworth came with 0.033" in both barrels. It is now 0.016 and 0.024 which are M/F. It still shoots modern ammo crazy tight. We'll see what it does to pheasants and doves.

Re: Restocked 20 ga Sterlingworth
A stock maker in South Dakota. Not being a wiener, but he has asked me to not share his information.
The only way I got into his shop is that I shoot with one of his better clients who recommended me. The stock work is as nice as the piece of wood.

Re: Restocked 20 ga Sterlingworth
Goldenfox, I did just that today! Shot a little after work. Broke some crazy long targets with it. It fits me perfectly, but still getting used to the gun. It's the lightest shotgun I own. This is the only gun I have with a semi beaver tail for end. I have to say I like it. Wouldn't want one on a 12...

Re: Restocked 20 ga Sterlingworth
Thanks, My gunsmith measured the chambers at just under 2" and more tapered than normal. He initially was just going to lengthen the forcing cones, but his reamer had to cut chamber before it got into the forcing cone region. He said he had never seen them this short on any Fox, so they were de...

Restocked 20 ga Sterlingworth
Just got my 20 gauge back from the stock maker today. Fits me like a glove and shoots where I'm looking (already shot it ). I picked up this 30" #3 weight gun last fall for cheap, which was a good thing. It needed a bit of mechanical work on the sears and the lockup, and the barrels were almost...

Re: english walnut referral
I have bought several pieces from Denli walnut in Turkey with no problems. Beautiful wood at a great price. Look at the special offers.

Re: 28 gauge barrels
Anyone ever talk to Kirk Merrington about this? I would think he is more than capable. Haven't contacted him yet as this is still just a thought rambling around my head.

28 gauge barrels
Anyone have a set of 28 ga barrels made for their small frame Fox? I was thinking of have a set of 20 gauge barrels sleeved for 28 ga tubes.
