Fox Collectors

I just stumbled into a 12 ga Pin Gun marked "Sterlingworth Company, Philadelphia, PA USA". It came in without a forend iron. I plan to restock it and am unclear which forend iron I need. It is clearly not the same as the Fox Sterlingworth forends,nor the graded irons but I think there are ...

I have just finished restocking a C Grade and I am pretty pleased with the results. I would like to get a nice rejoint to complete the restoration as it is a tiny bit off face. Any recommendations would be most appreciated. Thanks! Gil Russell

Craig: Thank you! That is a big help. Gil

I need to send a Fox C Grade trigger guard out for engraving and would like to have a"rub" from an early C trigger guard. I have an A gun but would appreciate anything that would give an engraver something to go on for this C. Thank you. Gil

Stan et al: Any barrel guy can do that--Mike Orlen in Mass. or Dean in Oklahoma are two guys I have used. Gil

I need a 12 ga yoke for a C grade Fox. The original one cracked on one side as I was taking it down and then the other side. Thanks!

I need a yoke for a graded 12 ga. I was starting to put one back together after inletting a new stock and saw that the existing one was cracked; it shattered as it came out. any ideas would be appreciated

That is one thing definitely best left to someone with trigger experience. It could be the sears and it could be the notches in the hammers, maybe both. Also could be the sear spring (easy fix), poor fit of the wood in the area of the sears or triggers. All fixable.

Needing a trigger guard for a project gun. Thank you for any leads. Gil Tucson AZ

Were the graded Foxes typically turned out with dimensions similar to those of the Sterlingworths of the time, ie lots of drop? Or were they truly custom made?This relates to a Fox C Grade (12)that is coming this way next week without a stock. My dilemma is: look for a replacement or restock? I have...

The sub gauges are also 12-32.

Bobby et al: The last one I did, I put the receiver in a drill press vise with padded jaws and used a drill bit in the drill press larger than the end of that machine screw, just to get it down to the point where it would move. Once I got it out, I dressed it up with a slightly larger drill bit yet....

I have one completely apart right now, a 20 ga Sterly. Tell me what measurement you need and I will put a caliper on it. Gil

Bobby: I was going to contact you on the other board. I wanted to thank you for your help with the stock. I have it pretty well inletted now; the buttstock is good and the forend could have been better. Next to profile. Donnie did a good job on the semi inletting and would use him again, slow but go...

I a m restoring a Fox Sterlingworth 20. I find the cocking slide, the part that is spring loaded and sits beneath the barrel flats to recock the hammers, is cracked. Is this part interchangeable for all gauges? One source does not specify gauge so I am thinking they would be, with some minor fitting...
