Fox A Grade Re-Cut Engraving
Fox A Grade Re-Cut Engraving
Here is a Fox A grade that was badly pitted. To get most of the pits out, a lot of the engraving was destroyed. The fences had a very unique stippling which I had to make a special tool for. Seems to have come out very well. I will post some before and after pics. Thanks, Tim

That did turn out nice, MK. Were the barrels pitted too?
Goodbye Mandy, once in a life time hunting dog. I miss you every day.

The gun is being refurbished by Bachelders Master Gun Makers in Grand Rapids MI. I did not see the barrels so I don't know what kind of shape they were in. I did the engraving. I am also just finishing up a modern version of an XE grade. The donor gun was a 20 ga Phili sterlingworth with ejectors and a single trigger. I will make another thread and post pictures when I am done with it.

Looking forward to seeing that one. I've got an XE upgraded 20 in the pipeline as well, with double triggers.MKETOOL wrote:The gun is being refurbished by Bachelders Master Gun Makers in Grand Rapids MI.

Good work on the recut. I can assure you it will likely be the best part of the gun in the end.
