Right now. Looks in good condition. Perhaps shortened.

Very short. I emailed the seller asked about the length and he added the picture with the tape measure. I thought he was a little lazy, maybe borderline shifty, to not just answer the question.

He starts the tape at the 3 inch mark at the butt and the other end is canted but falls short of 17 inches so it is short of 14 inches. Assuming its overall length is something less than 14 inches, that translates to something less than 13 inches to the front trigger on a double trigger gun.

I checked this against my 16 gauge XE.

Still not too bad a bad deal if you need one, but I take a 15 inch LOP so we'd be talking adding an extension.

(I've made a few edits to this to make it read better)

That stock is really going to look good on someone's XE or some other Fox.

No one bid on the stock by the deadline so it was relisted with a $20 discount.

Someone must have made an offer that the owner accepted because it is now sold.

Good deal if it works, expensive lesson if it doesn't.

I believe the frame would have to have rebates cut in it. Bobby

That gun was ordered with a short length-of-pull over its Silvers recoil pad, and a "short toe fore lady's use."

By looking at the end of the buttstock, I thought it had not been messed with, just had the Silvers pad to the end. I surmised the LOP would have been perhaps less then 14" including the pad. Wonder where the rest of the gun went to. PS. I thought it must have been a very light gun with all the borings done to the buttstock.

I think it just ran its course and vanished. Probably sold to someone who sent the seller a private note. Here is a pic of it.
