Fox Collectors

I have never seen the 430. Very nice. I think the 16 gauges were built on a 12 gauge frame, but could be wrong.

Sounds like the wheels are in motion. After rereading this post, I’m guessing that you were walking your dog in the neighborhood, and this is not your next door neighbor. I’ve often wondered if it would be a good idea to carry mace while walking, jogging or bicycling. The situation doesn’t seem as ...

Good luck with that Tom. Maybe filing a civil suite in the local court ssytem will encourage him to "fortify" that fence better. Because of the damage the bite caused, this case was forwarded to the Commonwealth Attorneys Office for review. It seems it will go to court and the dog will be...

Tom, I'm sorry to hear of your injury and hope you and your Lew are well on the mend. I'm not there in local society at your location but if just one incident it wouldn’t surprise me that the biter dog gets no more of a reaction beyond a better fence. I can hear it now, how the biter was incited by...

Hopefully the dog gets put down. Unprovoked that dog is a real danger. I would make a call to your local animal control and file a report. If they don't agree to put the dog down I would get a lawyer and sue the owners for pain and suffering. Nasty bit, hopefully the dog had a rabies shot. Hope you...

I'll be there good lord willing. Suffered a nasty dog bite last week that is requiring some doctor visits to get right. I'm thinking it will be healed up ok by then. PS. Dog jumped a fence and attacked my Llew. Got the Llew away and into the back of the 4 Runner and went to the house to let them kno...

I just read the below article from this month’s RGS/AWS Bellwether related to the Cape May freeze and impact to woodcock. https://ruffedgrousesociety.org/severe-east-coast-winter-weather-results-in-woodcock-die-offs/ Unfortunately we had another significant ice storm last weekend here in MI’s North...

I actually put a bid in on that gun because of the condition. Hard to find them like that. Bet your Llew will like it.

FWIW, for folks, press in beads are still available from Lyman but they are made of plastic these days and IMO look like crap. Finding vintage ones can be hard and harder. Mid press in beads (number 11 I believe) in Ivory are more widely available and you will find them from time to time out there. ...

Yes sir are you going to the Southern as well?

Jeff will be there. As will I ( Tom Tutwiler). Look us up.

If all works out I plan to make the trip from eastern nc with my daughter. If you are in Eastern NC you need to hit the Southern in April and swing by the Fox Booth. We will be there in force like always Good Lord Willing. Better shooting at the NE SXS IMO, but if you want to see some pure eye cand...

I just got this Sterlingworth from a friend and was hoping to get some Information from the experts in this forum. A. H. Fox Sterlingworth Co. 12 Ga. Shotgun serail number 52877 made in 1909 ? in Pittsburgh Pa. Length of Pull is 14 ½ inches and the barrels are 30 inches in length. The serial number...

That Winchester load is what I would shoot all day every day out of a Soper Fox. Reality is you might shoot 2 or 3 shots a year out of that Super at a turkey. Think I would shoot the other barrel and see what your pattern is also. My last turkey kills with my Fox was 11 yards away. It might be nice ...

Bill Schwarz in GA should be able fix it. Mathew Begley can fix it also. Mathew is in Ohio.

If you are going to the Southern. Mathew Begley will be there and also Jon Hosford. They could take a look and give you some options.

That’s a beautiful gun. It appears that the barrels may have been re-stamped.Or could one have ordered Chromox barrels on a Sterlingworth for an additional charge? I suspect restamped. Jon Hosford has the original roll stamps. He roll stamped a Sterlingworth for me about 4 years ago to make it appe...
