Fox Collectors

Other than Mike Campbell's excellent procedure on Sterlingworth stock removal I found very little useful information on complete disassembly and reassembly. Having just completed a restoration where I recorded a procedure I would like to offer it to anyone who needs it. It is 13 pages and too long t...
