Fox Collectors

If one must face death, what an honor it must be for a woodcock to meet his end at the other side of one of your guns, Roger!

Coming along and looking very nice! Do my eyes deceive me, or did your smith add side clips? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that done. Thanks!

I wonder which pad offers more recoil reduction?!

Jeff, one can only assume that is what they were doing. I guess it is possible that they were far better shots than the rest of us and needed the extra challenge of “sighting” the birds!🤣 Tom, I have removed it and other than a little oil and gunk, there is a small little hole for the screw not much...

Here is the simple sight that was added.

Great canvas for a custom. Make it your own. The only thing between that and this: IMG_7158.jpeg Is this: $$$$$$$$$ Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun! I really enjoyed following along when you built that gun. I've always admired the deep relief engraving on that gun. You certainly put toge...

Jeff, yes that is exactly what has happened. Someone along the way has removed the pistol grip and it is evident in the checkering which they sanded away and never recut. They did a reasonably good job though the angle to the toe line isn't quite kept. Also, it has a Hawkins pad that has been added....

I thought about holding this one close to the vest, but after Tom shared his awesome score of his 20ga SKUGG I figured there must be a toothless hen around somewhere so what the heck! My recent score I will call “Blank Canvas” for now. I stumbled upon this 20ga Sterlingworth Ejector with 30” tubes! ...

Who can’t like a nice Westley Richards! Enjoy!

Very nice score, Tom! That should hunt well behind your Setters this fall!

That gun is smoking! I’ll see myself out now…

Nine is my guess

Bo Whoop
Teddy’s FE
Late style engraved BE smallbore with long barrels
Straight grip XE (Bo Whoop kinda covers this)
Sterlingworth ejector 16ga or 20ga

While I am no expert and will defer to any more knowledgeable members, I would offer that I know a man here in GA that does micro laser welding. Seems to me you could have him build up the hook or weld on a new hook to the old base and then you could file it to correct shape/fit and dress it up. Sho...

I'm always intrigued by the many variations of checkering patterns, especially on the fore ends of Fox guns. Seems there was not much rhyme or reason and the stock checkers just went with how they felt a particular day. I have a factory beavertail ejector fore end that doesn't remotely match any of ...
