Re: Not so technical question - butt pad screw plugs

I used a dab of rubber cement on one of the plugs on a Winchester M12 Heavy Duck that would work its way out. No more frantically searching the bottom of a duck boat for the missing plug. Any overage is easy to rub off after it dries and can be removed without damage for end of season cleaning.

Re: Gunsmiths

Not sure where in Jersey you're located or what you're looking to have done, but I've used Winters Specialties in Berlin. Not only does Joe do good work at a reasonable cost, but his gun collection is worth the visit.

Re: Do You Remember Your First Time?

My first shot was likely a BB gun at scout camp. My parents had friends who lived on a farm and I recall shooting my first .22 there with their sons. My dad didn't hunt and didn't want me shooting a shotgun for the first time at my hunters education test, so my uncle took me out to a WMA for my firs...

Re: Project from Hell

Seems like a few of us have been burned in the process of having custom work done on our Foxes. It's time to start naming and shaming these "professionals". Not out of revenge, but to save another guy from wasting their time and hard earned money. I too am also less than pleased with the r...

Re: Rock Mountain 2023

Frank, I can only speak for mysel living on the other side of the Delaware River from Philadelphia, which is three hours away. I'm familiar with the area the shoot is held having hunted deer just north of Meshoppen for over ten years. I know other members make a longer drive to attend, but I still w...

Re: What Fox have you been looking for the longest time??

Looking for a 20ga, full pistol grip with a nicely figured stock. Lately though I've convinced myself that I can't hunt ducks without a Super, so that might come first.

Re: Budget build 16 and Pheasant

Fox20obsessed- I followed your impressive build on the other thread and am glad to see it out in the field knocking them down. I too shot a 16ga with the same load and agree the combo gets the job done. Jeff- I've only chased game commission released and preserve birds, but the North Dakota F&G ...

Yes it is. The bottom is SN68. The seller would only let them go as a pair.
