Barrel thickness of Fox guns

Post by grouse28 »

Has any one ever "blueprinted" the various barrel weights of the Fox guns, comparing the wall thickness of the various barrel weights?
Mostly interested in the No. 4 20's and 16's.
Thanks

Good question. I owned one 4 weight gun. An early A grade 16 (300033) with snap on forearm. Barrel wall thickness was .025 about 6" from on the barrel end on the right barrel. Bores were pristine and .658 as I recall. Left barrel was .028 BWT at about the same place. Factory letter came in a 5 lb 10 ounces on that gun. Was an extractor gun with 26" barrels.
