Re: Fox newbie with a new sterling!!

Re: Fox newbie with a new sterling!!
Well, took the barrels up to the small reloading shop in town that I work at part time and measured the barrels just for fun. What I found I thought was odd.

Re: Fox newbie with a new sterling!!

One reason I bought the shotgun without holding it was that pic....I really do not want to learn the hard way on my first...

Re: Fox newbie with a new sterling!!
Thank you for the info on the grip cap! I will have to keep my eyes pealed for a replacement. I may put one of the reproduction fox caps on from Connecticut shotgun for the time being instead of the white one.

Fox newbie with a new sterling!!
Hello all, let me start out by saying this is my first post and I am a fox novice at best! I recently purchased a fox sterlingworth that was posted on another gun sight that I belong to. This is what I know it is a very very early pin gun SN 507xx and the seller states that is has ejectors instead o...
