Re: Small gauge two barrel sets

Thanks for all the responses. I am waiting on final restorations for a XE 20 factory 2 barrel set with order card confirming. Have not ever seen many factory 2 barrel Fox guns and not really mentioned in A H Fox book.

Small gauge two barrel sets

I have seen the low numbers on how many small gauge guns were made but I never seen any numbers about 2 barrel factory orders in small gauge. Does anyone have idea how many 16 and 20’s were ordered that way. Thanks Mac

Super Fox 3”

Does anyone know if all factory 3” Super Fox guns had 3IN. stamped on barrel flats? Are there any other markings that would distinguish factory 3” gun? Thanks

Re: Nash Buckingham 20 gauge Burt Becker gun

I found more info. His other Becker gun was a 12g straight grip 26” gun choked IC/IC and weighed about 7 lbs. He sold it or traded it at some point to someone in Memphis. His 20 gauge quail gun was Model 21 built in 1933 , part of a 2 barrel set.

Re: Nash Buckingham 20 gauge Burt Becker gun

Thanks for the info. Just purchased first 72 issues of DGJ on ebay. Will find that article on Hal Howard gun. I knew Hal Howard’s son bought the original Bo Whoop at auction, then donated it to DU.

Re: Nash Buckingham 20 gauge Burt Becker gun

I have read from other sources that at one time he owned a Becker 20 gauge Super Magnum. I wondered if it might have been 2 barrel set. I am not sure Fox records show Becker made guns. Does anyone know about that? Thanks

Nash Buckingham 20 gauge Burt Becker gun

Everyone is familiar with Bo Whoop, but Nash Buckingham had a 20 gauge Fox Becker gun. It was in photograph from 1933 quail hunt.
Does anyone know any details about the gun ? Who might own it now? Thanks.

Re: Lengthening chambers to 3 inch

Would not do it with a Philly gun. Has Long LOP which I need and want to use it for duck hunting.
Hunter/Collector is how I would label me. Appreciate vintage guns and hunt with them.

Lengthening chambers to 3 inch

Looking at Savage Fox 12 gauge-1936 with #2 Chromox steel 30” barrels with 2 3/4 chambers. Can they be lengthened to 3” chambers? Anyone with prior experience with this? McIntosh book says you could order 3” chambers in non-Super Fox.
