Fox SPE Skeet and Upland 16 Gauge - 1 of about 20, RARE!, SST, vintage firearms inc
Description: General Specs: Fox, Year 1939, 16 Gauge, 6lb 10oz, Chokes .020/.032 M/F, LOP 14 1/4" mid, DAH 2 3/8", DAC 1 7/16" Serial Number: 303823 The Fox SP Grade was introduced in 1932. Just a year before, Winchester introduced the Model 21, a popular shotgun then and now. Fox saw the opportunity to make some cost saving changes in the appearance of the Fox with the new SP Grade. With its smooth-sided black frame, rounded stock and action, the gun appeared more an English boxlock, and similar to the new Model 21. Internally it was like every other Fox. By 1934, Savage/Fox introduced the SPE Skeet and Upland Game gun. A VERY RARE GUN, WITH ONLY ABOUT 20 MADE IN 16 GAUGE, EVERY FOX COLLECTOR SHOULD HAVE ONE OF THESE IN THEIR COLLECTION. This fine Fox SPE Skeet and Upland gun, sn303823 made in 1939, is a fully documented special-order SPE Skeet and Upland and remains in excellent condition. THE BARRELS, ACTION, AND TRIGGER GUARD ARE FACTORY UNTOUCHED CONDITION AND ABOUT 96% OVERALL. Vintage Firearms restored the factory original wood in 2019 with a Truoil hand-rubbed finish, as the original factory finish was flaking. Special ordered with a Fox/Kautzky single selective trigger, ejectors, LONG FOREND WITH VERY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS (one-of-a-kind forend wood), and ivory bead. The gun shipped with nicely figured walnut, much nicer than most SP Grade guns. All the details of this gun are clearly documented on the factory order card that is shown with the photos of this gun, as well as a Roe Clark factory letter. Look at this Fox! All the hard edges are gone, with the action rounded top and bottom, the breech balls filed to the shape of the barrels like an XE grade, the head of the stock rounded with no “side panels”...a true round bodied Fox. ELEGANT INDEED! So, here is your opportunity to own 1 of about 20 ever made, remaining unaltered in its specifications since leaving the factory. If you are an experienced shooter/collector of Fox guns, or new to the passion, you likely are aware that many vintage Fox guns have had the chokes altered, stocks altered or replaced, barrels shortened…the list goes on. To find a Fox SPE Skeet and Upland Game 16ga. gun with all these options and still matching the factory order card makes this gun likely to be one of only a handful in existence. The rarity and desirability of the SPE Skeet and Upland Game gun makes this a grand investment vessel, sure to gain value as you enjoy its use. Please don’t hesitate to call and buy this fantastic Fox gun. Not only is it rare in the way of collectability, but it is also an awesome upland gun, choked right, balanced right, and with rare configuration. SEE BELOW FOR SPECIFICATIONS. This gun has it all.
