Re: What to do with this 20 gauge Fox Sterlingworth?

I'd get myself some TimberLuxe, blend in that old finish, and shoot the heck out of it. Brass front beads are available from a variety of sources. JMO.

Re: 1914 AH Fox 20 Guage

Great story and pics. My late brother-in-law was a B-24 tail gunner over Germany, a pretty dangerous spot from what I hear. He made it though.

DGJ Index III

It sounds like the index is still in limbo pending sufficient pre-orders. According to Daniel they must have enough $ to pay the printer up-front. I have no idea where they are with this or how much money it will take; didn't feel it was my place to ask. Personally I would like to see a third index ...

Re: George Bird Evans

If you go to oldhemlock.org and click on the "shop" tab the Fox gun is pictured; you can clearly see the white line pistol grip cap. In "Recollections of a Shoot Guest" Evans notes that he was finding that the Fox didn't fit him. Dr. Norris encouraged him to look for and possibly...

George Bird Evans

Lots has been written/said about GBE; in the last issue of the Parker collectors' magazine was an article by Art Wheaton about the friendship between GBE and Dr. Charles Norris (Eastern Upland Shooting, etc.). There was mention in the article of a Youtube video which I watched today, and in it Evans...

Re: Not a vintage gun, but a vintage style hat!

That's a great looking hat! I might be tempted to trade my old Filson Packer with homemade blaze band for one of those!

Re: What Fox would you like to buy back????

Not a real Fox, but a Model B that I found for my father-in-law; a 1960-ish 12ga in really nice condition with double triggers and a vent rib, maybe the last of 'em before they went completely 2x4 with hardwood stocks, pressed checkering, et al. He liked my doubles and thought he'd like to have one ...

Re: What is your favorite Sterlingworth??

My first Fox (and first”good” shotgun), a Utica 16ga ejector. 28” barrels, 6-1/2 pounds, M/F, wood probably refinished at some point but a decent job, good blue and still some decent case colors. It’s been a good one and a better gun than I probably deserve.
