Some pics taken today while test shooting Jeff's J Grade SBT gun on the Rock Mountain sporting course. A 32" straight gripper. Choke 4-3/4" long X 42 points of constriction. As one of my buds commented ..... "smoke city".

Steggy said it's OK to post these pics. frank

It’s a beautiful gun. Too bad the bbl is crooked.

Now that is a fine J Grade, nice going Jeff. Looking forward to seeing you smoke them on the Letterman Cup layout at Ernie's

I imagine a well centered target just vanishes like UFO on a radar screen.

Yes they do Tom. Jeff and I have a short iPhone video of one disappearing into a diesel smoke ball but there doesn't seem to be a way to directly post it.

Thanks for the nice comments regarding my new "J". It's a beautiful gun with nice, sleek lines. Frank was nice enough to look it over, and did a little tuning. I can't wait to try it out at Hausmann's and I sure hope I break a few. See you there

jeff, i have never owned a SBT and wonder if its autosafe and is it ejector or extractor. thanks, and safe travels. 44whiskey. p.s. hope lots of pics are posted for us members who are not able to make the trip

No safety

No safety and no provision for a safety as may be seen in pic 4. Fox SBT guns were designed with an ejector similar in design and function to Fox 12 gauge S x S’s and some of the parts look the same at first glance but are different. The ejector on Jeff’s gun throws plastic and paper hulls 6-8 feet.

Though most shooters will eject hulls into the hand.

thank you for reply,what is button on left side of frame. 44whiskey

Well, that’s a good question. Sometimes gun enthusiasts store their guns “broken down” such as in a wooden case or in a leg o’ mutton case. When stored “broken down” the level remains to the right, which in turn keeps a nice old spring “compressed”. I believe pushing that button returns the lever to center, and relaxes the spring. Seems like a good idea. I have seen people return the lever to center on SxS’s, but it involves using a car key. If you visit Hausmann’s, Toolman’s sidekick, Jim can show you how to do it.
