I am new to the Fox family. I bought my first Fox A Grade and looking to find information. Where is the best place to start. Thank you in advance for any help.

Welcome aboard. Get on the road right now and attend the Southern Side by Side starting today!!

Probably the best place to start is reading through a lot of posts here on the AHFCA web site and all the info on the home page. The late Mike McIntosh's book A.H. Fox, The Finest Gun in the World is a good basis, but a lot of information has surfaced since it was published in 1992. Of course reading all the Fox articles published in the thirty plus years of The Double Gun Journal would be good too.

Good advice from Researcher. Also, go to the “Newsletter” section and pull up some the old newsletters. Lot’s of good articles!

The Newsletter archive is in the "Members Only" section of the web site. Got to be a dues paying member to get there.

The AHFCA has photocopies of the surviving production cards for the graded Ansley H. Fox guns A- to FE-Grades, no Sterlingworth cards, and dues paying members get one look-up per year and can purchase additional look-ups via PayPal.

Welcome to the AHFCA forum. Congratulations on acquiring your first Fox gun.

I would strongly encourage you to consider becoming a member. There is much information available to members that is not available otherwise. As a life member, I can assure you that you would never regret joining the organization. The benefits far outweigh the monetary cost.

Best to you, Stan
