Fox Collectors

Here is a Fox A grade that was badly pitted. To get most of the pits out, a lot of the engraving was destroyed. The fences had a very unique stippling which I had to make a special tool for. Seems to have come out very well. I will post some before and after pics. Thanks, Tim

Nice. Who might be doing the work?

That did turn out nice, MK. Were the barrels pitted too?

The gun is being refurbished by Bachelders Master Gun Makers in Grand Rapids MI. I did not see the barrels so I don't know what kind of shape they were in. I did the engraving. I am also just finishing up a modern version of an XE grade. The donor gun was a 20 ga Phili sterlingworth with ejectors and a single trigger. I will make another thread and post pictures when I am done with it.

Wow, great work. Impressive stippling.

Looking forward to seeing that one. I've got an XE upgraded 20 in the pipeline as well, with double triggers.

Very nice work. I look forward to seeing the XE.

Mike you did a great job re-cutting the engraving on A-Grade Fox I'm now re-cutting the scrolls on a Colt SSA and a Browning A-5 also found a Winchester 20Ga. M12 at gun show with I restored I really enjoy bring these classic guns back to pristine condition keep up the good work. J.J.Roberts

Good work on the recut. I can assure you it will likely be the best part of the gun in the end.

Mike, great work and thanks for sharing the project with us!! Brett
