They are "Real Cool". Find some on Ward's Auction.

Re: Which one would it be???

My 20 Sterlingworth weighs 5 pounds, 11 ounces. It would be my choice for long or rough hunts.

The gate attendant will let you go where you need to go. I haven't been able to walk for ten years and the gate people have always given me every assistance.

Re: Which one would it be???

My HE 20, or my HE 12 that letters to Nash, or which Parker, A or AA, oh heck, I agree with Craig. It can't be done. To be honest, with the price of shot what it is, a .410 would probably win out. Now, which .410? Maybe the skeet configured Francotte from the family of a famous four star.

Re: Grade a butt pad

Silver, solid red, Jostam, red with slots. Many early Fox guns with Silver pads were leather faced, an elegant option. Use the search function to see pictures of each pad.

Re: Tulsa Anyone

How close is the Tulsa Show to the airport? I assume it is not like Louisville, right across the highway.

Re: 2025 Southern Side X Side Championship and Exhibition

I carried a ten gauge AYA shooting 1 3/4 ounces of steel #2 and BB for several years. I should apologize for some of the shots I took with that gun. However, I would rather brag than apologize.

Re: Early Fox, Parker, and Ithaca Catalogs

Dave the catalog I mentioned is printed in red ink, identical to the Clown. I'll examine a Clown and see whether the back page opposite the clown cover is missing or torn off. Thanks for replying.

Re: Bonifide Rem 31 TC Long Range "Style"

Can other owners of Remington "Long Range" marked barrels report in with the bore diameters. I find it hard to believe that Remington made barrels with a .742 bore like this poster mentions. No one with a "Long Range" barrel seems to own a bore micrometer. Kevin does but his gun ...

Re: Early Fox, Parker, and Ithaca Catalogs

Dave, I have seen a catalog with the November 18, 1916 price list, absolutely identical to the Clown, but no clown cover. Is this a recognized catalog or is it a Clown catalog with the cover ripped off?

Re: Early Fox, Parker, and Ithaca Catalogs

Jason's reply on March 19 at 1:08 leads me to believe that he thinks his clown is a repro. Later posts make me think he has an original with rusty staples. What is the story, Jason?

Re: Early Fox, Parker, and Ithaca Catalogs

Jason, how did the Clown get rusty staples? What makes you think it's a repro?

Re: Early Fox, Parker, and Ithaca Catalogs

Those wild and crazy Canadians are hoarding catalogs by the dozen. Is the Clown original or repro? That should be a $2000 catalog by now. Some of those Fox catalogs are probably in the same category, but I know little about their value. The Grey Pine Cone is not in mint condition. A rare find in any...

Re: Preferred Cases for various tasks

Whatever case you find that turns you on. Best double gun cases are British oak and leather. USA cases for double guns, the Abercrombie and Fitch VC or very compact cases. They are leather covered trunk cases. Both of these examples are expensive. Holt's Auction is the best place to look for British...
