Interesting it's always nice to know what others are looking for. The funny thing is that they rarely seem to be available when your looking for a specific gun. I never would have ever put a Elsie long range eagle grade on my wish list but one showed up at Hausmann's and i had to buy it this year. I didn't have Ithaca super 10ga grade 3 on my wish list but I won one at auction. I have always wanted a straight grip HE but a good one has never become available. It seems the more I want the harder it becomes to satisfy my desire.

Ansley lost the A.H. Fox Gun Co. three years before the .410-bore was introduced in the U.S.

I'm still hoping 31736 a HE C with duck engraving will find its way to my gun room. Second is a late B 20ga 26" in original condition
These are very low probability wishes but hey ya never know!!!!
Craig,

Mike McIntosh Fox book has a listing derived from Roe Clark data of 16 and 20 gauge graded Fox's. Shows 177 for the B/BE 20, all made in Philly. Add another 10% maybe for missing cards, so there should be around 200 B/BE 20's out there, mostly late style would be my guess. Subtract about 10 - 20 early style B's, that would leave maybe around 180 late style B/BE 20's. So maybe around 50 - 60 late style B/BE's with 26 inch barrels?

And you're right: "very low probability wishes but hey ya never know!!!!"

Probably easier than getting that HE C SN 31736.

By the way, what chokes are you looking for in your late B 20 gauge with 26 inch barrels?

Bill: As long as the gun has some choke i'm good, if it is tightly choked RST spreaders are wonderful.
Actually I don't own a A grade Fox so if a really nice A 20/26 came along for a not in the stratosphere price I would jump on it.

Craig,

Does the B 20 with 26" barrels need to have ejectors?... or not?
BTW, it's -1f here today and its freakin November.

I'm always looking for nice straight grip Foxes. I also favor Syracuse Lefevers and I'm hoping a straight grip will find its way to me; they' seem to be even more scarce than Fox straights. :cry:

A good bottle of scotch sounds good.

A good C grade remains at the top of my Fox wish list. Would love the Lynn Bogue Hunt catalog and another 20 gauge Sterlingworth. It's been a good year for gun buying but not on the Fox end unfortunately. Hopefully 2019 will be better

Some dude named HOOT shot Santa so I do not expect a visit. But my wish list is short.... a nice 30" 16 gauge CE grade with m/xf chokes for my Kansas hunts would be SWEET! ...if this would be a lottery or a dream, please make it a two barrel set with 28" cyl/imp mod for my grouse hunts in the U.P. Love them walking woodcock looking birdies!! OH.. I do believe in Santa, and hope a dang deer hunter does not kill any of his propeltion teem! . (-: SXS Ohio
