Re: Lever left of center

Hi fellas,
So how about the learned present here inform the less learned as to why a a top lever goes left of center . Not that the less learned have the skill set to fix it but perhaps gain an understanding of the potential issues involved .
Best to everyone , Jim

Re: Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge

I recently acquired an A grade 12g with mod and full chokes . It's a high condition gun and wanted something to take the load off a few other I have . Using it for sporting clays and dog training . It grinds up the clay and gives the dogs their due . The first four rounds I put through it were at a ...

Re: Spring training

Very cool to be able to train pointing breeds on wild birds in the spring like that especially woodcock being the tight holding birds they are .
I run field bred English cockers and woodcock aren't an option in the spring . Do you do any banding ?
Best , Jim

Okay... So I'm no stranger to duck marshes, timber holes, or wide open water. Would love to know what that mystical
bowhoop report sounded like.

Re: Barrel stamps...

Right is .043, left is .048. Dennis Potter is doing the metal and wood and his name will appear on the right barrel.
A.H. Fox Phila, PA, USA on the left barrel. All lightly engraved. Bob Strosin will do that along with some work on the
frame yet to be determined for sure.

Barrel stamps...

Guys,
To you that have had a custom Fox made, or are in the process. Do the barrel stamps matter to you? I ask mainly about the roll stamp on the top of the barrels . The address stamp, barrel steel stuff. Or do you have it filled in, struck off and have it engraved as you desire?
Curious, Jim
