Thanks for all of the input guys. I took the SW out to ND a couple of weeks ago and out of the various guns I brought (a Win M12 16ga, Merkel 1620, and A-5) the SW is the one I ended up shooting all week. I had just purchased the Fox a few weeks before (my first) and LOVED the way it balanced in my ...

Barrel length and issues of desirability

Hi all, Posted a few weeks back about a 16ga SW I picked up locally. Never put a tape measure to it, but assumed it was a 28" M/F as that's what the seller told me. Anyway a couple of days ago I was measuring LOP out of curiosity (14") and threw the meaure to the bbls-turns out they're 30&...

WOW! I see what you guys mean. . . Out of curiosity, because of the "hidden" SW forearm fastener, there's no way to change this out for a higher grade type latch, or is there? Also, as far as providing an engraver with very detailed pictures of a higher grade pattern to go by, where should...

Ken, thanks for the advice. From lurking around this and other sites, I know your opinion is always held in the highest regard along w/ your work. I was debating the issue of wood grade to use. I learned the hard way restoring an old MGA car a few years back. The cost of labor and my time was the sa...

Price Check- SW 20ga

First a thanks to those who helped answer my ?s about the 16ga SW I just bought. I'm not too sure how prevalent the smallbore SW are from region to region, but I stumbled across a possible project gun and would like a price check. It's a Philly-era non-ejector SW in 20ga that would have to be restoc...

Thanks for the info Silvers. I got a case of the 2.5" Vintagers in #6 (bigger than I'd use on grouse at least late season once the leaves are down) with the intention of dragging the SW out to North Dakota for phez. Shot a few rounds of trap on Saturday and feel like the fit is excellent. I did...

Help with early 16ga Philly SW

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and had a couple of ?s for the group if you'll oblige me. I've been shooting a Merkel 1620 for grouse near my home in Virginia and while I love the gun, recently found a Fox 16ga SW at a local shop. It was the first Fox I've handled and came alive in my hands. I pu...
