Ansley H Fox safety operation
Posted: Thu Aug 22, 2019 8:17 pm
I pasted this in the general forum,, before I found this
I just took possession of my first Fox,, Ansley H Fox made 1910 12 ga.
The gun has been entirely refinished and looks like has never been fired since being restored and became a safe queen.
Was stiff and difficult to open at first
On these guns,, is the safety in the ''fire'' position when pushed forward or pulled to the rear.
At first I could not get the hammers to fall (on safety caps) at all,, but opening/closing and working the safeties has loosened it up.
With the safety forward.. the right barrel hammer can fire
with the safety to the rear.. both triggers/hammers can fire
