Simmons Quail Fargo

[SPE33]

Here’s a bit of an unusual one. I read that Simmons got the frames from Fox/Savage and did their own thing with them. 20 gauge with 24” barrels topped with a Simmons vent rib.Straight grip with a gold non-selective trigger. Kind of hard to find,they were marketed from 1965-69 I read. Fewer than 1000 produced. This one is in really nice condition.

Yup, a decorated Model 311, or some such. Nothing wrong with a 311.

Nice closet queen!

With the ejectors and non-selective single trigger, it was a modified Fox Model BSE. The Stevens Model 311 never had those features.

I have never seen one of these before. Very cool gun! And as Dave said a real closet queen!!

[Foxnut]

Joe, what kind of nut pad is on the gun?

[SPE33]

Sent you some pictures to you.It’s a White Line pad.

Dakin in Spain made a few of them.

Apparently for a while in the early 1960s Simmons was the Dakin importer --
