I’ve got got Fox A grade 12 ga serial# 26709 can you tell me what year built and the barrel weight it looks like 4 weight but they have been rebuled and not real clear.
Thanks

Based on the chart which is considered not that accurate it appears to be 1921.

Regarding what barrel weight you have who knows. Often the 4 weight marking is hard to see because its struck off during the barrel striking process when they are fit to the receiver.

Ps. Page 152 of the Fox Book provides the weight of the raw tubes in the various weights for 12 gauges. If you like Foxes and want some history of same, that book is a must have. There is currently one for sale on Ebay. Search for: A.H. Fox The Finest Gun in the World Shotgun book Michael McIntosh

Double PS. If you look long enough you can find them cheaper then the one on Ebay. I bought mine when they were still being printed and it was $44.95

Vaturkey Thanks for the reply
I have the AHFox book and looked on page 152 they do weigh 3 pounds 4 ounces. So they are #4 barrels
Thanks for the info.
