Fox Shotgun Reapir

Post by patrick85ed »

I have recently received an old Fox 12 gauge that belonged to a deceased family member. From my research I found it was made in 1911 and it seems to be a pretty good shape, except for one thing. I cannot operate the barrel break lever, it seems to be jammed or something. As this gun is so old I do not want to try and take this thing apart myself, even though I have quite a bit of experience working on guns. I would like to know if any of you on here know of a good competent gunsmith that works on these guns that i could send this to to get it back in operational status. I live in Northeastern NC. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

If you want someone local in NC, I've had good success in the past with Ken Barfield at Double H Gunshop. He's worked on a few Foxes for me.
