Hello Donnie, very nice indeed. She looks like a good honest gun. Thanks for posting the pics. I know you just bought her and I assume you're still in the 3 day inspection period. I see she has the F&H ejectors, first style. I do believe the first gen ejectors are a good design and I know of two Foxes with them, seeing regular use on the courses. Just a thought: to be sure they are timed ok, parts can be a problem. Gun has the cool early wide top rib. I like that heavy reinforcement at the breech! Congrats on the nice BE. Silvers

Thanks for the respond the gun is 30" M/F 14" 1/4 link of pull. I checked the auto ejectors and it is hard to believe they are timed correct. thanks Frank and Jim for the respond.

That is one beautiful gun. The early A and B Grade guns are my favorites by far. Bill Murphy

A real "gutsy" looking BE Donnie....very nice. I have her twin sister, a 16xxx piece, battle-worn and tested. Nothing beats a sexy, mature dame, who's been around-the-block, once or twice. No wonder, Ansley lost his ass on the cash-flow side. Those early guns had so much quality and bench time into them, Fox was in the "red" from day one. God luck with her!!!!-----TOOL
On the whole....I'd rather be in Philadelphia....
