Fox Collectors

Gentlemen & Ladies,....Can anybody show me a Pre-1914 AHF' stock, from Side Profile and from the Under-Side. I have to make(By cutting and welding) an Original Long-Tang Trigger guard for a 'Conversion from P/G. to St/Grip.. an 'A' grade or higher would be really helpfull, so that BLH.has some Engr to copy, and I need to position the 2 Screws in the correct 'spot' Any help would be Greatly Appreciated. Foxed Chisles,aka DT.

Poor pictures and no longer available for pictures...16 gauge Fox FE.

Utah, Many thanks, for the 'pics' great ref. Would you mind if I filed them in my 'Collection"? Spent couple of hrs, with #35 Fri. Its going to be an Interesting Sale.....dt

That lovely FE-Grade is way post 1914. The earliest straight grip I have is my regular bird gun circa 1914 -- http://foxcollectors.com/My%20Forum/php ... .php?t=152

The 1907 "Campfire" catalogue shows the B- and D-grades with straight grips --

I don't know if this will help, this is a 1914 XE straight grip 12ga. The picture is fussy but I think you can get the idea.

Doug Mann has this gun at the moment and if you need good dementions I imagine he would be willing to help out.

I also have a 1914 CE-12ga straight grip that I would be willing to take pictures of if you need, just let me know.

David, I measured Paul's XE and got the following measurements as measured from the toe of the trigger guard: .885" to the center of the last screw hole, 3.536" from the toe to the center of the first screw hole, distance between the two holes was 2.651". I wouldn't take these measurements as gospel but they are very close. I also took measurements from a take-off stock from another straight grip Fox and got the same numbers within a few thousanths of an inch. Hope this is what you're looking for.
