Fox Collectors

Mike - Thanks for the reply and that is great info. Your keeping and sharing of careful records is a benefit to everyone. It sounds like your Foxes are holding up well. DSizemore - Interesting that you were still seeing dimensional changes in the wood. Do you know how long the wood had been aged bef...

(reviving an old thread) Hi Mike, I was doing research on drawbolt Sterlingworths and found this old thread: Just wondering whether you have put a bunch more rounds, especially the higher pressure factory target loads, through your high-volume Sterlingworth since your last post, and how is it holdin...

Nice looking Sterly! If properly cleaned (not too much oil) and stored, the steel and wood are as strong as the day the gun was made. Which, since this is a Fox, is very strong.

Mike - I don't have a set price. I would be willing to pay fair market value for a non-collector gun considering its configuration and condition, and considering that the gun will be dragged through Appalachian briars and brambles. I didn't think a sub-6 lb gun was that hard to find? Especially if i...

Hi All, I am new to the forum. A good friend of mine hunts a 20ga Fox Sterlingworth and it is one sweet little gun. I love how this gun handles and decided to start shopping for a 16ga Fox for myself. I am looking for a shooter condition Sterlingworth or lower-priced AE for grouse and woodcock hunti...
