Fox Collectors

Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a source for new butt stocks for Fox's or perhaps someone with a panograph duplicator with some experience in making double stocks. I have a Sterlingworth that I would like to use as a field gun. It's in good shape overall but has a cracked stock at the wrist. I fixed it with acra-glass but can't say how long it will stay. Even if the repair is permanent, the lines of the original semi-pistol grip stock remain awkward at best. I would like to fit a new stock to my dimensions (if possible). Thanks.

I have not bought from this source but if you just want a semi-inletted new stock for your shotgun, there is a guy that sells on gunbroker.com and on ebay for around $115 I have no idea how much "beef" is available for shaping to dimensions...

I think if you like the fit of the stock you have and want probably less effort in inletting then a standard semi-finished/inletted stock, you might consider having your stock duplicated. I've heard good things about the following: http://www.gunstockduplicating.com/

I was at a gunshop in Pa picking up a Sterlingworth about 2 weeks ago and the gunsmith had a model 70 stocked duplicated. I was amazed how clean the cuts were as I compared one (original pattern stock) to the duplicated one. I'm sure Mike has some wood he can provide for a fee, or you can pick up some from many of the wood merchants out there. Vaturkey.

I don't know what area you live in, but I have been both buying wood and having it duplicated from Donnie Gemmes [pronouced Jimmmez] at Show Me Gunstocks in Warsaw, Mo. I have known Donnie since he was at Fajen's and he has always been able to fill my needs. He always has a good selection of blanks also. His address is Show Me Gunstocks, P.O. Box97, Warsaw, Mo.65355, and his phone is 660/438-4568. You can send him your old wood to duplicate from around the inletting and tell him where you want to leave extra wood, or use his pattern. Happy whittling. Lee.

Thanks Lee, I'll check it out.
