Very nice indeed.

Floorplate Fox.

Wood is gorgeous and I’m sure the whole project will be. Keep pics coming as it moves along. Thanx for sharing

Back to New Britain for completion.

Thanks for updates. Which engraver did CSMC use?

Very nice!!! How does it shoot?

Lovely gun indeed! How did you get the in process pictures from CSMC? SXS Ohio

A combination of "Squeaky Wheel" and BBQ.
Pork Back Ribs, 10 spice dry rub, brown sugar crust,
freshly smoked 8 hours over Hickory, vacuum sealed and shipped overnight.

My two barrel set just got to Geoffroy Gournet's to get engraved. Same configuration with 28 & 30 inch barrels. Now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I've started to give some thought to getting a case for it. I'm curious if you or anybody else has sourced a reasonably priced case for a Fox two barrel set. The rib extension disqualifies a lot of what is out there. I'd like to stay under $1,000 for the right case.

Roger, check out Tony G's case offerings - I've steered several people towards his 2-barrel leather over wood (vs. oak & leather) model(s), which I think are still about $800 plus or minus some optional goodies. They are very well made and I think there is even a 32"/28" version. I have some understandable snob/elitist issues with minor accoutrements (straps come to mind), but I know a guy that can fix that. Check them out. Kevin

Roger here is a couple you may or may not have seen. The oak/leather one could have a Fox label put in to replace the current one. Not sure however if it is for a 12 gauge or a small bore:

Thanks Tom,

I did see both of them.

In regards to the CSMC, I took what I read to mean I'd have to order the 32" version to make a 30" barrel with a rib extension fit. Not the end of the world, but it does make it a bigger, heavier case. I already own that version in a two gun case case configuration and like it but it is heavy. I currently have a matched pair of 16 gauge Brownings in that case though so I will need the right case eventually.

The used one from Eurochasse states that it will fit a 30" barrel like a Winchester 21 which has no rib extension so I'd need to confirm if it would fit. That one might be a Huey with felt covered wood dividers which I believe is top of the line.
