I thought that copying an article from a magazine, for personal use, not commercial use, was OK. Guess not. I'll just take my time and find one on eBay. Thanks for squaring me away. Jim...

Thanks, Paul. I'll repost when I get it back from gunsmith. I started into the world of SxS last year with a 16 ga LCSmith. I started shooting in 1955 with an Ithaca mod 37 full choke, 30" barrels. Learned to shoot quail while in college in TN with that gun. Taught me a lot. I have shot only O/U's , since 1972 when I got my first Dailey 20, since retired to my son. Progressed to a Winchester 101 2 barrel set 20 & 12. Since retired to my son. (his go-to gun, now). Then to a 12 ga superposed 2 barrel set, since retired to my son. Notice a pattern here? I then added a Weatherby Orion 28 ga for quail and dove in AZ. I'm still holding that one. LOL. I then got a pre-1913 Elsie and after shooting it decided it would be an ideal duck gun for (guess who?? yup, my son). Then came the 16 ga Elsie, and I fell in love. Told son to talk to my wife at my funeral about that one. Then decided I should try a Fox also, which brings us up to date. I'm axious to break some clay with the Fox. First non-rainy day after it comes back. I guess I need to look around for a Parker, to sort of complete the set. Forgot in the mix somewhere came an 870 "Etchen Special" trap mod B. Gift from a friend who never really shot it. Me either, so it's really just a closet queen. Joel Etchen would like it. Maybe someday I'll trade him for a fancier Fox or Elsie, 16 or 20... Sorry for going on so long. Old geezers like me should be limited to 5 lines or so of talk. I'll try to keep it shorter next time. Jim...
