She seems to have a lot more male friends suddenly. Reminds me of sailors going to a Hooters after being deployed for 6 months. Reminds me, an ex Navy sailor, of going to Hooters after being deployed for 1 (one) day. Those girls sure wore nice outfits. Jolly I was in Yokosuka Japan home base of the...

Both Annie and Sophie are doing fine. Sophie is ruling the roost while Annie is away at the trainer having fun.

Got a note from the trainer today that little Annie is in heat. Better there then here. She said she is keeping her away from a herd of admiring male setters with ill intensions on their minds.

I went to an auction on the Eastern Shore of Va about 12 years ago to look at a pile of Foxes and one Parker DHE 20 gauge. Of the 7 guns at the auction every one had cut barrels but one, and that included the Parker DHE 20. The story per the locals who were there, is the fellow had a fleet of good b...

She is doing well per the trainer. Almost there on steady to flush. Little quiet here at the house without her. Sophie is a bit bored..

Final pic till I see her finished.

IMG_0875.jpgIMG_0874 3.jpg I you are in Va I'd recommend you reach out to this fellow: Gunter Pfrommer 540-484-5555 Gunter is well versed in Foxes and I know of Fox members who use him. He used to be the head gunsmith at Ithaca Classic Doubles when they were made by Steve Lamboy in New York. PS. Th...

It will be a ...

He is indeed. Very nice very light shirt. Handles the heat well.

PS. Lots of folks here .

The quality did go down once Savage purchased Fox. What year did that occur? Of course, if this shotgun is of parts manufactured in Philadelphia, then the only difference is the location on the barrel. But this was news to me and I learned this about my Fox Sterlingworth on this forum, and it cause...

Orpington, What is your concern about Savage/Utica vs. Philly gun? As Researcher said that gun is all Philly components. Possibly a gun that was all ready serial numbered and in the white when Savage purchased Fox. Hard to say for sure. I would not rely on the Lightner published serial number chron...

Will be headed down tomorrow. Should be fantastic weather. Folks bring your checkbook or large piggy banks, there will be lot of Foxes there for sale. Probably more then ever seen at one time. PS. Great steak and BBQ down there as well.

Love the leather faced pad. Guessing that was glued on.

Might be able to polish out those bores with 0000 steel wool wrapped around a shotgun cleaning rod with a brass 20 gauge brush at the end. Spray the 0000 steel wool wrapped brush with CLP and put the rod in a battery operated drill and give it a go. Csn clean a lotta stuff out of a barrel doing the ...
