Fox Collectors

I was looking at some guns on Guns International and ran across some listings from Daniel Cote. At the bottom of the listings was the following note: A MESSAGE TO ALL WHO HAVE ORDERED THE "INDEX & READER VOLUME 3": The Double Gun Journal Index & Reader Volume 3 (456 page hardcover)...

Edited my previous post with more info from Daniel. Seems they have had a tough time of late.

The latest from Mr. Cote: "For reasons far beyond our control, the belated delivery is because of MY serious medical condition which has kept me at bay with the Urology department to which I have been "tethered" for the past almost 5 months; before that it was Shingles which hit me in...

Folks on the Parker forums are saying February now for delivery. Joanna at DGJ is said to be the source of the info.

The latest from DGJ. This was posted yesterday. "As many of you will know the production of our Third (and last) Index and Reader has been beset with difficulties over a long period due to ill health and events beyond our control. We are pleased to say that orders by email and phone can now be ...

Now hearing to the printers mid October to ship mid December.

Post on the Parker Collector's site now says end of September for shipping per Heidi at DGJ.

I believe his son died unexpectedly in May. That could be part of the delay. I'll keep the faith for now.

Has anyone heard any news on the shipping date?

I've never had any trouble parking inside if I got there early. Many years I just park along the road. It's a short walk.

Just ordered mine. Was told end of May or first week of June for shipping. Just purchased the entire set back to 1989 including the two previous indexes. Getting this one was a no brainer.

The goal of the day was to make a deal on a Fox CE straight grip I had my eye on for over a year. Could not come to terms so I ended up with this. Maybe next year.....

For 44whiskey

This is the Beesley side lock I picked up at the Southern SxS. Some of the screws are a bit buggered but this will be a shooter so no worries. It has a sister gun out there somewhere.

Straight grip Fox CE with 28" 3 or 4 weight barrels choke improved/modified. Seems to be a unicorn.

I spent 6 hours there yesterday. Many Foxes for sale this year. More than I have seen in the past. I only live 25 minutes NE so I will be going back today. There a few guns that have caught my eye.
