Fox Collectors
The Fox Collectors forum was founded in 2006 to stimulate interest in the history and production of Fox shotguns. We believe you will enjoy our forum and learn more about the rich history of Fox shotguns.
Post your questions or seek advise regarding gunsmithing, restoration, repairs, ballistics, etc, etc.

But like the GEICO commercial, you learn something every day. I am guessing everyone except me had figured this out, but when in the process of disassembly, if one backs off the screw holding the sear springs before driving the pin out that holds the sears, they and the pin will fall out easily. Same with reassembly, if the sear spring is put in place and the screw just started and not tightened down, the sears are easy to put the pin through. Then tighten the sear spring screw.
Unlike a Parker where it takes three hands to compress the springs and get the pin through the sears.
I did not know that, and the disassembly instructions do not use this handy step. Maybe I was the last to learn until a friend showed it to me. Dozens of times I had reassembled with the spring in place and tightened down using a pilot nail to keep the sears in place until I got it together. I had never read this tip and apologize if it is in a previous thread. It may save a scratch or chip in your stock while fumbling around with it.
Thanks for posting that. I realized I'd left that out and submitted a revised version that was up for awhile. But, somehow, during a server change or something, the revision was lost. Been too lazy/forgetful to suggest the change.
Beware the man with one gun...he likely will bore you to death in others ways, too.
