Fox Collectors

Stan: 946 total 12ga SF's, 248 are 32" X 3"

So the followup question is: How many are owned by AH Fox Collectors Association members?

Anybody ever taken a poll?

At one time I owned 6 Supers, I now own 2, both 30"x3". Of the three I sold two were 32x3", one 32x2 3/4" and one was 30x2 3/4".
Here is 30035 CE/HE one of my favorites

Here is 31577 this fall.

Here is one I would like to own, 30069 XE/HE

More awesome photos!

Nice pics!! I too drool over owning an HE in the future. Glad you could "dig one up"!!

When I bought this gun last year the stock needed some attention before I could even chance to fire it. There was some oil penetration and a few cracks that gave me a lot of concerns so I dropped it off with Dan Rossiter at last years NE SXS shoot at HH. The finish was just completely gone and it was an ugly piece of wood to boot!

Dan did a great job making it solid and I picked it up a few weeks ago at this years shoot. After a gentle cleaning with absolutely no sanding whatsoever, I have been applying finger dips of Timberluxe for the last few weeks to what had to be one of the ugliest stocks on a Fox I've ever seen. I am very pleased with the results. It does not need to be pretty, but I want to protect it from the elements.

That looks great! Dan did a good job

Looks great. That Timberluxe is some good stuff indeed.

Craig, your Super is nice but that call looks to be an equally special piece. Who is the maker?

I've had my 32-inch, 3-inch chambered Super-Fox since 1963, but I haven't shot anything with it since 2003. Having an English Setter I've been chasing upland game.

A quick google produced this...

and this...

"...Tin Can Louie Club, an 84-acre property about two hours north of San Francisco that is highly respected by local hunters for its prime habitat and proximity to the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge, a reserve that typically supports hundreds of thousands of ducks and geese throughout the winter"

I know exactly where the "Tin Can Louie" club is located from my hunting ducks at the public hunting area of the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. There are several small duck clubs clustered together off the northeast corner of the hunting area at Sacramento.

I was asked to show a "how bad was it before" picture, so here it is. Besides the ratty finish, the stock has a nice knot and some gouges in it. The other side is a mishmash of grain confluences with no pattern winning.

Romac, thanks for your creative wordsmithing.

This is probably my favorite thread ever
