Fox Collectors

I bought Frank's LC specialty grade and think I got the buy of the show. Please continue the sale table. I'll be there early next year also. Dick Baum

Frank: Bo-Whoop was truly an outstanding shoot. Very well thought out and included non-members as well as non-Fox shooters. Congratulations to Mike and Paul who shot really great scores. This shoot should be a main stay at Ernie's Hidden Hollow for years to come. Well done! Dick Baum

Silvers: I have plans to attend the shoot with another brand, however, I will bring a Fox and will look for other Fox shooters. Dick Baum

Foxist and Admin: Just great to meet both of you and talk Fox's. Pintail Point is a great venue and you guys had a very nice display and set-up. I would hope for many more returns. Dick Baum

Mis-fires: and the jury is now in. It was hammer springs that were weak. Oddly enough they did not show any decrease in length. I got lucky and obtained new springs that had never been in a gun, and they were exactly the same length as the originals. I would have thought they would take a "set&...

Bill: Thank your for your excellent advise. I have just eliminated all the extraneous possibilities and once again have homed in on the hammer springs. There just can't be any other causes. Now---where to get them. Thanks again. Dick Baum

Miss-fires: The jury is still out. Miss-fires only started after I had the gun re-done and had put through at least 3000 rounds without mishap. Mike Orlen did the barrel work and the rims do not appear to be recessed, also the firing pins seem to protrude enough, also testimony has been given that h...

Silvers: Good analysis. I will meticulously check each item. Thanks, Dick Baum

Fox-Admin: Yes, in one case I struck it four times in the right barrel and three times in the left, without firing, then tried it in a Parker and it fired on the first try. This was a Rem. primer. I also had two mis-fires with RST factory shells. In both cases the dented primers later fired in the l...

1911 Sterllingworth 16ga. completely redone several years ago has started to mis-fire. At first it was one in about 50 shots, and all from the right side. Now the left has the same problem. Inside, the gun is clean and there are no binds or hang-ups. It happens with several brands of primers. I have...
