Re: Stock Swap?
Not likely. That 20 ga. stock is rather petite. Based on what others have said in the past, swapping a 12 ga. stock with another 12 ga. isn’t easy.
Shoot vintage firearms, relax, and have fun.

Re: Stock Swap?
The more definitive answer is NO. The AH Fox smallbore frame is much smaller in all dimensions than the 12g frame. For the same reason a regular 12g stock isn’t compatible with the so-called Magnum 12g frame.
Remember that even within the same frame size there are subtleties in dimensions and machining practice over the years, and the chance of one stock properly “fitting” another frame of the same gauge is very slim. frank

Re: Stock Swap?
Have seen excellent results on one Fox stock swap involving SW stocks in the same gauge. This may have been more good fortune than common but the smith also had talent.
