I think Parker small bores are now a better buy versus graded Fox small bores. Hard to believe.

Re: RI BE 16ga sells for $9400.
I was thinking the same thing. Much easier to find a 30"/20 Parker than a 30"/20 Fox. And the 32" guns takes it up a notch. I've got both and to be honest, as we all know, the 20ga Fox, for lack of a better term feels livlier between my hands.
Owning a Fox is not a spectator sport.

Many years ago when I first started thinking about getting a 32-inch 20-gauge double, at the winter Las Vegas Show at the old Riviera that year I tallied six Parker Bros. all grade 2 & 3, a Crown Grade L.C. Smith, and a No. 5E NID, but not a 32-inch Fox 20-gauge in the place.

If your looking for a 30" Fox small bore your much better off settling for a 16ga, a much greater percentage were made with 30" barrels.

would you have happened to record the serial # of the Grade 5E NID 32" 20 gauge?
Thanks,

I bet I did at the time, but where that scrap of paper is twenty years later is anyone's guess. As I remember Jack Puglisi had the gun.
