Saw that gun recently. It's a true stunner, with condition not normally encountered.

Got to give the guy credit. He was determined to keep the old girl shooting.
Owning a Fox is not a spectator sport.

The gun I really wonder about is this XE-Grade that went to L.H. Hagen in Norway --

It surfaced on another web site a while back, still in Norway. Wonder if it shot any Nazis during the occupation?

You guys are blinded by the hinge-pin! That gun is a marvel of technicana! What looks like a ham and egg stock reinforcement is actually a precursor to the legendary, Greener cross bolt.

Lest we forget the adage: Beware the man with ONE gun. I bet that dude shot lights-out with that old gal!!!
On the whole....I'd rather be in Philadelphia....

Our "Tom" has the gift of words very much like our late departed Tom Gibbons. "Not a screw turned".
