Fox Collectors

All, I have a Fox gun w/a Silvers type pad on it. One of the screw hole plugs is loose and wants to slip out while in use. Were these plugs simply friction fitted or were they glued/attached by some other means. What the best way to assure fitment without making a mess of the pad and making it acces...

I’ll be there, can’t wait!!

No affiliation but someone posted a lot of Fox and Savage paper/catalogs on eBay yesterday/today. Looks like some nice pieces.

That would make me sick as well. Joe, how was the show! Unfortunately I had a family commitment this weekend and was bummed to miss the OGCA Display show!!

That is a great looking Tom and Sterlingworth! I’d say you’ve given that gun a great workout since you purchased it and it sounds like it’s been a great field companion! Congrats

Ralph,
Good to see you’ve added two great Foxes to the stable. Both look like excellent drawings/work!! Congrats - Brett

Tom, she is looking great. Love that intensity in her eyes. Should be a great Fall!!

Looking forward to reports on the action at the Southern and if there are any unique/new Fox guns that make an appearance. Have fun gentlemen! Brett

what can you tell us about the shot tower? :wink: Years ago while duck hunting, Dad would always explain to us the early process of making lead shot. Molten lead goes through a screen and drops down the tower into a pool of water. Fortunately, I just took pictures of the plaque in front of the towe...

Possibly a gun that was all ready serial numbered and in the white when Savage purchased Fox. Hard to say for sure. I would not rely on the Lightner published serial number chrono...

Paramedic86,
While no longer a “collector” grade gun I’m in the camp of leaving the chokes alone on that gun. 32” barrels born with F/XF are just meant to be left alone IMHO. However, as others have mentioned it’s your gun do what makes you happy and post pics of that sweet gun!!

I’m looking!!

Spent the weekend at the Tulsa Wannemacher Arms Show. If you’ve never attended it’s totally worth the trip. Saw several fellow fox shooters/collectors. Got to spend most the weekend w/Yellow564 (Frank Holley) and enjoyed a lengthy conversations with Foxist (Paul Plunket) on many things Fox, Ithaca a...

Great looking guns! Love that the 20 bore Sterly has been getting a good upland workout as it should be!!! Now that you’ve jumped in there’s no turning back. Welcome to Foxitis!!!

Thanks for showing us.

Would have loved to seen that gun when it was in its prime!
