That is a beauty. Ansley probably wished he could make and sell guns like that.

Such a beautiful gun. I enjoyed the entire process especially choosing the features that appealed to me.
Chrome lined barrels were a must for hunting in Kalifornia, soon to be Non-Tox and Steel only on public land.
I wanted interchangeable forends to suit my fancy. Poor image but I also really like the Skeletal butt.
Weight will never be an issue, 6 pounds on the dot with 28" barrels and the BTFE or 30" barrels with the Splinter.

Let's take note that A H Fox design guns have been manufactured in New Britain for almost 25 years now, as compared with Utica at some 17 years and about 23 years in Philadelphia. :)

Hats off to Ansley, Clarence, Savage and Tony.
