Re: A Little 4E Love!

"Made me look." No McGraw signature on my 4E or 5E. I don't expect to see a signature on the Sousa, but you never can tell.

Re: Fox CE 20 ga. SN200664

Kim, I understand that some companies require serial numbers on guns valued at over ten grand. Personally, I'm not interested in insuring over ten grand guns unless I plan on shipping them.

If you have to provide a value prior to a loss, you have the wrong insurance company. Comments?

Re: If you were organizing a museum exhibit of Fox guns what 5 would you include??

Dave, back up. TR's gun and Bo Whoop are not available. Think of two others that may be available for a display. I think the GAM single L Grade would satisfy the GAM and the single barrel categories. Who owns the GAM single L Grade today?

Wow, for 35 cents more, you could get a Marlin Model 90. Dave, this is a lot of information I have not had before.

Re: Building a Dream Fox Collection

My little Parker 28 is going on 66 years for me. I haven't done any serious bird hunting for years, but the Parker 28 would be my go to gun because of its tight chokes and light weight.

Re: Press-in Bead Install?

I had a .410 double without a front bead. I found a giant ivory bead that I installed. It is so out of proportion on that little gun that it actually gives the gun character it didn't have before. I love it.

Re: Very Pistols

I've never fired my Sedgely flare pistol. I'm not sure what ammunition it takes.
