Fox Collectors

Part of the trouble I had buying this gun was putting a value you on it. You dont see very many XE 16 ga for sale and then the crack in the stock makes it a little tougher. I will be the first to admit my knowledge of Foxes is lacking but I am trying to learn more daily. I know it is tough to judge ...

Craig, That is kind of the thought I have been having with this gun. You have anyone in mind that you would recommend to inspect the stock and address the crack? Only thing I would have to do is lengthen the lop. I can always find a nice slip on pad but I need about 14.5. The other stock dimensions ...

Got the card back. Choked Cyl right mod left. 1 5/8 x 2 3/4 x 13 3/4. Weight is stated "Min Light" 26" barrels with air cushion recoil pad. Said the gun was for "Methvin How" and the HH Swift engraving on the trigger guard was requested. Dated Dec 21, 1933. Here you can see ...

Sent the money with paypal requesting a card. Just waiting on a reply. Thanks

The engraving is H.H. Swift with Columbus Georgia underneath it. From the brief research I have done it looks like he was a lawyer in Columbus Georgia and was well regarded. Thanks for the comments and assistance. When I get the gun in hand I will take some better quality photos and ask for options/...

H.H. Swift is engraved on the trigger guard. Sent my money off to get a copy of the card and really interested to see what it says on the card.

Someone warned me Foxes were a slippery slope and I should have listened. Just purchased a Fox 16 ga XE. 26" barrels and has unfortunately a crack in the stock. Wish it had longer barrels but I could not pass up the opportunity to buy it. It should be in my hands by monday or tuesday and I will...

Picked up the shotgun today and everything checked out. Tight on face. Serial numbers match. Short chambers. Mod/Full. Here are a couple more pictures of the gun. The stock dimensions are 2 7/8x 1 5/8x 14 1/4. Too much drop for me. So now the debate begins if I have my first restock project or just ...

Thanks for the kind words. I am pretty excited to get this gun. I have a 16 ga Sterly and a 20 ga Sterly that is getting fit with a second set of barrels. I have always wanted an A grade when I stumbled onto this one. I will post a couple more pictures when I get it shipped to me hopefully this week...

Bought my first A grade Fox. Here are a couple of pictures of the gun. Just waiting for it to be shipped to me and I cant wait to get it out in the woods. I bought the gun off an auction and they didnt have a lot of information for me. They said the bores are mint no dents. Wood has typical wear of ...

Sorry if my terms are incorrect in describing my issue. After closing one of my Foxes it felt funny. After taking a closer look the bolt slightly protrudes into the opening for the barrel extension causing the barrel extension to hit it when I am closing the gun. If I hold the lever slighty farther ...

Ill take one if someone is willing to pick one up for me and ship it back to Minnesota. I can send the money via paypal or check.

I am looking at a Fox with an English stock and wondering if it is a skeet and upland gun or a custom stock. Here is what I know: 16 ga 28" barrels 2 3/4" Serial number 376xxx I think made in 1939 Straight english stock 14" lop 2 1/2 dah Gun shop thinks it is choked Ic/m I have not se...
