Description:
A H FOX, STERLINGWORTH 16 GAUGE WITH 28" BARRELS. FULL & MODIFIED CHOKES, 2 3/4" CHAMBERS. EXCELLENT BLUEING AND MIRRORED BORES WITH TRACES OF CASE COLORING. PISTOL GRIP STOCK AND SPLINTER FOREARM BOTH IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THIS MODEL HAS THE AUTO EJECTOR!
The Sterlingworth was introduced as an economical, standardized, field grade double. The receiver was color case hardened. Available at extra cost (depending on vintage and model) were such options as automatic ejectors, single trigger, custom stock dimensions, 32 inch barrels, beavertail forend, Silver's recoil pad and even an extra set of barrels.
Externally, the lines of the Sterlingworth were similar to that of the higher grade Fox doubles. The receiver and trigger guard even wore a bit of simple border engraving. Like the graded Fox guns, the Sterlingworth's light and compact action made it (depending on gauge and barrel length, of course) a potentially light and handy field gun. The action was based on the same design and contained the same parts as the more expensive Fox grades. Bolting is by a tapered rotary top fastener and a large rib extension. The mainspring is a durable coil spring. Fox extractors extract properly and selective ejectors eject reliably.
Most Sterlingworths were supplied with standard grade American black walnut, pistol grip stocks with three panel checkering. Like most economy doubles, the splinter forend was attached by a tension spring, rather than a mechanical latch. However, in the Sterlingworth this was a coil spring driving a bolt with a roller pinned to its front, a more durable and sophisticated design than other snap-on forend latches. In general, the Fox Sterlingworth was a more sophisticated field grade gun with more optional and desirable features than the other economy doubles. It was also the most attractive.
