fox--philly model--parts interchange?

Hello all. Been awhile since I've been here. I've got a Fox from the Philly era. Needed a stock & safety assembly when I bought it a couple years ago. I located a stock & forearm, just need to send it to a gunsmith & get them fitted. Been too many other projects for me to do to get this ...

Dave, the barrels are in fact Krupp barrels. No stamping anywhere regarding which grade it is. Measured the barrels again, and there are 28 1/2 inches, from tip to end where the end of the shotgun shell (brass) would be. No mic gauge to check the chokes. I'll have to let a smith look at that for me....

Dave, barrel length is 28 1/2 inches. I do not see anything denoting Krupp barrels. How do I tell which it has? As far as what grade, I do not see any stamping A,B,C etc. Not alot of engraving either. I am assuming it is an A grade. As far as the grip, the stock is busted off right behind the safety...

I don't know what kind of trigger assembly I have in my Fox. Haven't taken it apart yet. I've found a gunsmith and awaiting his call back. He's supposed to be pretty good. Gonna look at some of his previous work. Dave, I seen a reference that you keep up with the early PAC guns. The one I have is #3...

I'm trying to figure what grade gun I have here. There is no letters stamped on the gun anywhere. Would that mean it's an A grade gun?
If so, as far as the stock and forearm is concerned, would they have been checkered?

Fox-Philadelphia Model

Hello. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Chris, and I love collecting guns, any kind. I've got a few Fox', a 12 and a 16, both Savage models. I also have a Philadelphia model, s/n 3xx, patent date of August 1904. Just a little newer that the one shown on the home page. I think it's a...
