As made, your 1921 A Grade 20 would likely have a slightly concave butt surface under its buttplate and I strongly encourage you to avoid having that surface sanded flat (as typical) when fitting whatever recoil pad you decide on. Find a 'smith who will make the pad base convex to match up with the...

I agree with Craig on both accounts, and ended up with this one on my AE 16 several years ago. It's a great little pad that I bought from Mark Beasland, if I am not mistaken. As you can see the face is not perfectly flat like a regular Silvers pad, but is exceptionally comfortable and effective in ...

Thanks very much, Craig.

Just got a 1921 20 ga. A Grade w/original buttplate. Would like to add a period-correct recoil pad, but was wondering what style would be "accurate" for this gun? Any ideas, or suggestions? Would one of the Galazan red types be what was originally shipped from the factory on a gun of this ...

Thanks very much, Stan - what I needed to know.

Considering an A grade with a single selective trigger, and have been assured the trigger is fully functional. Having heard that vintage single triggers can be a pain, and that knowing that competent vintage gunsmiths are hard to find these days, especially west of the Mississippi, how difficult wou...

Thanks for the information, Frank. Glad to know the proper term for the guide pin. I'll continue trying to get the ejector fully repaired as I don't want to run into the problem you describe. Additionally, as I mentioned before, I don't like having a gun that isn't in full repair and function. Looks...

OK Bobby, great! Will send you a PM.

So Sterlingworth ejectors would work in an A grade? The "support rod" under the right side (tip/end) of the right ejector kept coming loose and was soldered back in place twice. In line with the old adage of the charming 3rd time, when the gunsmith tried to, I believe, weld it this time, i...

Anyone have any source suggestions for the complete right side ejector of a 12 ga. A Grade ejector? Would take a complete (left & right) set if necessary. Tried AH Fox Parts/Pumpkin Mtn Guns, but they're apparently still not taking orders, etc..

Thanks Fin. Very helpful and much appreciated!

Greetings. I'm new to the forum and Fox ownership. Just purchased an AE, SN 29790, 26" bbls, bt forearm, and cyl/skeet chokes. Would like to know more about the gun and was wondering what my options are for getting factory production cards and letters. Feel free to refer me to a FAQS page as I ...
