Fox Collectors

Kudos to Frank for being so helpful and considerate with his technical expertise and advise.

Have not seen any new posts for several days. Is it the website or my computer??

Since the web site change the "automatic log in" feature seems to work intermittently.
Not earth shattering but annoying. Just reporting.

I have had continual problems with this sight recently. Most notably, every time I go to the sight I have to re-login even though I have requested to save my ID and password. very frustrating.

You can use the member site to look up the serial number and see the manufacturing card. If your a member.

Yes, 5-40 is the correct set screw. I ran a 5-40 screw in the other axle's set screw hole to verify before drilling out and re-tapping the buggered screw and all went well. Was back to shooting the gun a couple of weeks ago.
Have a great day.

Thanks for the input, it is appreciated.

I have a buggered axle set screw that I had to drill out. Does anyone by chance know the thread size?? I am going to use a tap to clean up the threads and replace the set screw. As tight as the axle is I suspect it would stay in place just fine with out the set screw.

Thamks and best regards,

That pin pushes the saftey on when you open the gun. I leave it in the gun when I hunt and remove it when I shoot Trap, Sporting Clays etc. Re locktite - I don't like to use lock tite on any guns- period. My personal preference, for a variety of reasons. All the best with your Fox, it can be addicti...

The spring was probably installed up side down. I do not however think that it would have caused a "hair trigger"... easy enough to test. If installed and causes a light trigger pull, better get it to a competent gunsmith for safety issues.

That sping mounts to the trigger plate to hold the triggers in place with a small amount of tension, so that they just don't flop around in the at rest condition. It is an easy installation. Maybe it is a spare?

Y'all could have the serial # checked in the members forum to see what the chokes were when the gun left the factory. Plus other useful info.
This is a valuable service for Fox members.

Just to let you know I have an A ser. # 129xx which I had lettered and it shipped from the factory April 30, 1909. It also has 30" Krupp barrels and choked mod R and full L . It is indeed a great shooter, I use it mostly on the trap fields. If serial # is any indication your gun would have ship...

Thanks so much for all the valuable info received, now it will be up to me to utilize the knowledge. However, I think experience is the key and there is no shortcut for that.

Thanks

Thanks for the info, the web site you recommended is very informative and useful.
