I had the same question/assumption. Clever (I think) design!!

Now that is some beautiful scenery!! What a place to spend a crisp morning in!

Daryl, Thanks for the report. One thing that always baffles me about the late September/October shoots is the conflicts it creates with various hunting seasons (namely grouse, woodcock, some waterfowl, bow hunting seasons). I know some our primarily target shooters, some primarily hunters and some c...

Craig, thanks for sharing. I’ll have to go back through my other catalogs again. I wonder if it was really “English” walnut given how most of the Super Foxes I’ve seen have relatively plain wood. Perhaps that was deliberate given what they were built for and the loads they were meant to digest. Brett

We have been working on a fireplace conversion at our cabin. It has taken way longer than I would have liked. It’s difficult to get anything done when you depend on other people. The fireplace should be done on Tuesday. The DGJ reader will be have some good information when it finally arrives. Defi...

And yes….it came home with me!!

Attended the MI Antique Arms Collector Show last Saturday. While the size of the show continues to decline it still has some great guns and associated items.

Congrats on your new gun! You’ll enjoy shooting that one!

Wow, Wow, Wow! Now that is a display!! What a table of guns! I’d love to see Fox Nation do a display at the OGCA Display show once again!

Attended the Ohio Gun Collectors Association show this past weekend. Good attendance and activity. The Winchesters Collector’s and the German Gun Collector’s Associations had great displays with some great guns. Saw several nice Fox guns including a flat out mint 20 gauge Sterlingworth and a nice 12...

At the time those shells were manufactured, Dad’s only gun capable of handling 3” shells was the infamous Marlin goose gun. IMG_3179.jpeg I don’t know why but I have an affinity for those Marlin Goose guns!! I have never owned one, am not a water fowler but every time I see one I have to stop and l...

Blue Grouse,
That is a fine 16 Sterlingworth 30” gun!!! Thanks for sharing!
