Jonathan, another very fine straight grip Fox. Thanks for posting. The frame scallops along with the rebates (which were only done on XE and higher grade guns) suggest Burt Becker to me. This one looks like it was done up on an AE frame. Stock cheeks are checkered and the nose of the comb has that distinct abrupt shaping; of course the stock was obviously replaced to fit the frame mods. Wow! Your Great Grandfather sure knew what he wanted!
I see both ejectors have a slight bend from kicking out umpteen hulls, noticeable at their center stem. They can be easily straightened IN A FIXTURE to keep from forcing the barrels off the face if you decide to shoot this Fox.
Depending on the date, please count me in on the VA get together you posted on the Ole Miss thread. THANK YOU! Frank
