Re: Fox Sterlingworth Firing Pin

Can't speak for others but I simply don't have the knowledge to respond to technical questions. I appreciate those who can and do. If I don't have anything of value to contribute I just don't post. I'm much more of a "human interest" guy than a tech guy, so I can give a sometimes rather un...

Re: Is this a Fox buttplate ?

Kind of cool, though I think I'd change to slotted screws.

Re: 1916 Fox 20 Gauge

I don't know that you can order a sales receipt. Do you know where and on which exact date the gun was purchased? Even then, I can't imagine that a receipt would still be available. You could order a letter on the gun, which would tell you Fox's price of the gun when new, and MAYBE the dealer the gu...

Re: A Grade at Cabelas

Cabela's used to do that for free; I think they charge for it now if they even still do it. Did it once when it was free; haven't done it since so I don't know how much they charge.

Re: Slip on pads

Frank's suggestions are good ones. But regarding slip on pads, I still think the old Pachmayr rubber pads are as good as any. To me they're less bulky than some of the leather lace-on or velcro pads. Truth be told I've only ever used one a few times; it was on a Fox Model B that belonged to my late ...

Re: Weight range Sterlingworth 12 gauge

My Utica 12ga Sterly with 28" barrels = 7lbs 4oz
My Philly Early A grade 12ga weighs 6lbs 11oz with its 28" barrels and 7lbs 4oz with its 30" barrels
Both are extractor guns with pistol grip and splinter forends

Re: Savage Sterlingworth Appreciation Day

To Dave's point my 12ga Sterly is the latest of the three; has the uncapped pistol grip and larger forend, but a Philly-style top lever. My 20ga has a Philly-style safety slide but the rest is pure Utica.

Re: Savage Sterlingworth Appreciation Day

As you can see from my tag line, I'm very happy to participate in the Savage Sterlingworth Appreciation Day :D ! I'm proud to own and regularly shoot what I feel are the best value in sxs guns extant in 20ga, 16ga, and 12ga.
