Fox Collectors

I don't recall ever seeing one.

Here is a picture of my 10-gauge Francotte 25E sideplated box lock that is Acanthus and tight scroll. https://live.staticflickr.com/499/31671350025_b8f074c801_c.jpg Here are pictures of my 2 12-gauge Francotte 20E sideplated box locks that are also Acanthus and tight scroll. I think these guns show ...

I tried to find out as much as I could about the Corumbelle's style and output. I'm going to say that for this gun it is probably not, although it is the right era. In fact, my three Francotte's look more "Corumbellish" than this Cordy. They all have acanthus scroll with English style fili...

Thanks Jeff! Looks like I'll be eating boloney sandwiches for a while. It sure swings nice. It has all the attributes I was looking for, including neutral cast, which is a big deal for me on those going away shots. All of the screw head slots are untouched and perfectly timed. It may have never been...

Kevin, Thanks for your insight into this matter. I can't wait to do a little more research.

This gun just exudes quality. I didn't need to recognize the company name to know it was special. There was no "Ground Shrinkage" when I picked it up at my FFL.

It's going to be a beauty!!

The hard part about having one that is everything you've ever wanted is that you feel guilty not taking the others out for a spin, but when you do you feel like you should be using the one that just emptied your red neck 401K.

Congratulations Tom!

She looks like a keeper. Good luck with the training.

It’s a crap shoot. In theory it should be close but more often than not the fitment is not great.

Happy 4th of July everybody!

Stay safe in the heat.

I put a 10 lb. brisket in the smoker at 6:00 AM this morning.

Mac N cheese with lump crab, collard greens and baked beans. Oh, and corn bread. What a feast awaits!

Cannons at dusk!!!!!

$5K is cheap money for a righteous Super. Aside from overall condition, unmessed with chambers and chokes are the litmus test that it needs to pass to enhance the value. Silvers has had special gauges made to do an accurate assessment. There are lots of other variables. Is it a rare graded Super, 2 ...

Tut, I always like that gun. Great back story too.

Patience was stretched thin…..

Like rent to own without taking delivery first. lol!

All worked out well in the end.

The only thing between that and this:
Is this: $$$$$$$$$

Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun!
