Fox Collectors

Very nice Eric, I'm sure you will enjoy your Sterlingworth and I bet it won't be your last. Do yourself and the gun a favor and stop using the 0000 steel wool on the metal. Instead order some of these http://www.big45metalcleaner.com to clean the metal surfaces on your gun. You won't use anything e...

Got the cleaning pads in. Going to take some time to clean off decades worth of grime. They work great on an old police trade in revolver that I thought would need refinishing. Next step is pulling the stock off. The safety is difficult to move, so I’m guessing the action has gummed up oil and dust....

Thanks for the tip!

I want to preserve the gun so I’ll baby it. What I’m wondering, is whether anything changed in the manufacturing of guns when loadin...

Uh-oh. I already have an impulse buying problem with guns. This could get very expensive.

Welcome aboard Eric. I look forward to seeing pictures of your Sterly with some freshly harvested "game". What are your plans for that gun? Pheasants, ducks, doves, grouse, rabbits? My hope is that I’ll be taking pictures of my Golden, my SW and some pheasants next fall. Depending on whet...

I’ve got a Sterlingworth inbound that is approximately a 1914 vintage. It’s my first Fox, so I joined up here to learn more about the guns. Even though it’s the bottom of the line, I’ll be proud to own it and may even take it out hunting if it is in good working order.
