Fox Collectors

Jim; You can shoot any gauge of Fox in the 12ga. prelim. Shoot the gun you shoot best and above all have fun. It's a great event. Good luck. Alright, thanks for the info Daryl, it's appreciated. Next question, is there a registration form or event/price list floating out there anywhere? I haven't s...

Haven't been posted for 2016 yet but will be basically the same as the past 5 years. Must shoot the 12 gauge prelim (50 targets). We take the top 5 Fox and top 5 Lefever scores and the shoot-off on the 5-Stand (that shoot-off is new for 2016) and the high team wins the Challenge. More info to follo...

Count me in fellas, I'll be there Wednesday morning. Can't wait to shoot that fantastic course again!! See you guys in a few weeks. Jim

He's definitely a good guy to deal with, I've done quite a bit with him over the last couple of years. usually just as my transfer guy, but a nice guy and easy to deal with. I guess he didn't feel like fooling with trying to sell that piece anymore as he called me after your buddy returned it. So he...

Almost as infuriating as seeing buggered up heads, is seeing "restored correctly" guns with screws not timed correctly!! Maybe its just a personal thing as that was beat into me from when I was just a very very young man that when you take it apart you put it back correctly and that means ...

Yep that would be the gun, I hope he didn't pay a lot for it. He can touch base with Bill, but I do not believe Bill does tube work past reblueing and things like that, I don't think he does rib work. I could be wrong though, I don't know that I ever asked him about anything past retubing. But also ...

Well I won't be able to determine barrel length or choke config, it's been whacked off to 24". if I'm remembering correctly, serial was 150 I believe? I can find out for sure when I go back, he wants me to make an offer on it. I see little to no value as the tubes are cut off and do not ring at...

One of my local dealers called today, said he had something for me to look at. So I went by and he had a Utica 12ga Sterlingworth straight grip. I believe it to be an original straight grip but I noticed it had a short tang trigger bow. I only have one straight grip gun and it has the long tang, and...

Now there's something interesting. I have a straight grip 26" A grade 16ga, 301414 Philly instead of Utica but what would the odds of identical config exactly 2000 apart, cool stuff!!!

Well I was hoping Fox v Lefever was in September, but no matter, I was going to see about coming to both anyway. I'll look forward to more info though, thanks!!

Ok this is the first time I'm hearing about a Fox vs Lefever challenge, how did I miss this??? And is this at the June event or the September event??

That's fantastic news, that was a spectacular course for sure!! I look forward to shooting there again with you guys this year, time to make hotel reservations!! Harold, I have not finished that Lefever yet no. I've been pretty covered up and I hit a bump in that road on that project I haven't figur...

Just wondering if you guys were doing the day before get together before the Spring Southern again this year. I need to make my hotel reservations and I had such a great time last year, except for the dent in my door, that I wanted to do it again this year. Let me know and thanks guys!! Jim

It's really not hard, good screwdrivers and a vise are a must. Then don't forget the teeny tiny little screws that hold the cross pins in place, and you'll need some way to compress the hammer, stirrup and spring so the pin can be slid back into place. Not hard to do, but need to be creative about i...

I did a repair on a 20 Sterlingworth that was doing this exact same thing a couple of years ago, except it would miss every 4 shot or so. Ended up being weak main springs. A call to Pumpkin Mountain for new springs and a couple hours later and no more misfires. Really really not hard to do once you ...
