Description:
This A.H. Fox 12 gauge 'A' Grade shotgun, serial number 26827, was manufactured in 1920. It has 28” Chromox Fluid Compressed Steel barrels choked Improved Cylinder (.009) and Improved Modified (.025). The lettering on the top of the barrels is crisp and raised to the touch, and the bores are bright. The wall thickness (top/side/bottom) for the right barrel at 9” from muzzle is .031/.029/.026 and at the middle of the barrel is .031/.031/.027; the left barrel is .032/.028/.028 and .032/.030/.029, respectively. Chambers are the original 2-9/16”. Bores 9” from the breach are .730/.730 respectively. The gun locks up tight and on face; the top lever returns to the right of center. The weight is 6 lb 13 oz. The drop at the comb is 2” and at the heel 3-1/8”. Length of pull from the front trigger to the end of the half-inch replacement recoil pad is 13-1/2”. The heel of the stock is cast-on 3/16” for the left handed shooter. The engraving remains deep and distinct. All serial numbers match.
This vintage gun is properly restored to bring it back to the condition is would have been after 5 to 10 years of use by the original owner. Oxidation and old lacquer on the stock and the forearm were taken off, dents and scratches were removed to the degree possible without changing the character of the gun, the checkering was re-cut, and a stock oil finish applied. The preparation of the metal before it was re-case-hardened was entirely by hand, and the color case hardening was done by Classic Guns in Crete, IL. The barrels were hand sanded to base metal and re-blued using the slow rust blue process. Please do not hesitate to call the seller at 703-625-4830 if you have questions.
The seller will ship this gun in a hard case. The inspection period is 7 days from receipt by buyer. Also, it carries a 30-day warrantee, during which the seller will have any mechanical problems repaired or accept the return of the gun and refund the price of the gun and the return shipping cost. Seller has fired this shotgun using factory 2-3/4” target loads. However, as for all vintage shotguns, it is recommended that new owner have it inspected by a professional gunsmith before firing.
