Re: Early Fox 12 gauge identification

Thank you Jolly. I will absolutely take it to a good gunsmith to evaluate the barrels. The actual operability must be tested as well.

Re: Early Fox 12 gauge identification

Thank you Jolly. Gun need a lot but I will get #’s from them and make a decision. It is my first Fox and it is old.
Are the KRUPP Steel barrels capable of shooting typical rounds ?
Are these barrels like Damascus ? They are “ Lightweight” barrels.

I have attached a copy of the contact info for the company I have been in contact with. I recently re did a Model 21 with Connecticut Shotgun. They did a wonderful job, nice people as well.

Re: Early Fox 12 gauge identification

Yes it is. Krupp Steel, Light weigh barrels. It will need work for sure , I plan to leave it to my son when I can no longer get out. I was so surprised to see how nice and light the gun was as well as thin at the breech. It locks up tight . There is another company that has shown some amazing bluing...

Re: Early Fox 12 gauge identification

Thank you for this information. Was it typical for these guns to go back for a refit of sorts ?
Would Turnbull Restoration be a good company to go to ?
What type of metal is the Breech made of ?

Thank you so much. It was worth joining for sure !!

Re: Early Fox 12 gauge identification

I will send three more as well. The gun came from an estate sale from NJ, you may be right about the salt !
Do you think that can be fixed , at least improved upon by a professional ?
