Re: Membership question

Once a new members application and check arrives at Fox central, does the "Members Only" section appear or is there an email notification etc.?
Just curious as mine was sent a week ago and should be there by now or very soon.

I have many pics of the Phil. Arms and will take some of my Utica guns shortly.

Re: Philadelphia Arms W/Issues

Thanks ASavageFox, I assumed after disassembly and clean that the wear was an easy weld/file fix to improve lever position.
Stock is a full pistol grip (nice walnut) but I'm assuming a Savage era restock w/o checkering. Aftermarket cap and hrbp.

Re: Philadelphia Arms W/Issues

S# 1295 Appears to be late Phil. Arms with "FOX" only engraved on receiver panels. A second trip to look a lil' closer came with a much reduced selling price. I need to check chambers and chokes before a serious offer can be entertained, and I need to research the lever left fix options. A...

Re: Would you buy this gun???

Selling for Grandpa who has owned for 40 years. Previous owner had gun stolen and hatchet job to sn's as recovered.
Trigger guard # 203000 appears machine stamped and incorrect imo.

Re: WaterFowler

As I'm new to the Fox collecting fever I am not sure how the grades are defined for letter grades.
A,B,C etc are increasing quality wood?
E denotes Ejectors or Engraved?
To date I have a late sterlingworth 16g w/26" barrels.
Need more.......

Re: WaterFowler

Eightbore,
Why do you question the AE? Engraving appears period correct. Is it the wood quality?
