20 ga Savage "Fox Sterlingworth"

Post by Utah Shotgunner »

Looked at one this morning.

s/n: 266174

28" barrels. Muzzles did not touch and there were no apparent keels.

Barrels:
R: .618" Choked .015"
L: .629" Choked .040"

I forgot to pay attention to the length of the chokes, so with this information what could you tell me about the originality of these barrels?

It looks to me as if the left barrel may have been honed at some point.

All original length Fox barrels do not touch at muzzles.I have seen some later Foxes that had solder between barrels,not keels and i believe they came from factory like that. Bobby
