Description:
- Sale Pending - New, unfinished A.H. Fox 20 gauge, 28” graded ejector shotgun kit. From the original A.H. Fox Factory surplus parts cache purchased by Mitzie Bielin, _________ employee/A.H. Fox Gunsmith (see McIntosh’s A.H. Fox, The Finest Gun in the World pg. 283) and acquired by Jason Barden’s Pumpkin Mountain Gunshop.
This receiver, barrels, and all of these parts were manufactured by either the A.H. Fox Gun Company of Philadelphia, PA., or the _________ Arms Company of Utica, N.Y. between 1900 the late 1940’s. They have been kept and stored in their original factory wooden parts boxes and bins with the original tags and labels.
This is the opportunity to own and build* the gun and Grade that you wish, from the original A.H. Fox Factory NOS (new, old stock) parts. This is the one and only 20 gauge kit available for sale.
This receiver, per photos, has the following parts fit: hammers, mainsprings, ejector mainspring followers, with ejector tabs and bushings, hinge pin/extractor cam, top lever, with nut, spring, follower, and ball screw, rotary bolt with yoke, and yoke screw. All other parts are new, in the white, and unfitted; they, as the rest of the gun, will need proper installation, fitting, functioning, proving and finishing by a qualified double gun gunsmith.
A late style Kautzky Single Trigger plate has been installed, and a complete new set of the original factory late style Kautzky single trigger parts with extras is included. Additionally, a new double trigger plate, with double triggers, sears, and small parts is included if a double trigger gun is preferred.
The barrels are new, unfitted, and in the white. There are no factory markings on the barrels, nor is the rib yet matted; there is a source for matting with the factory matting machine. These barrels are brazed construction as opposed to soft soldered, and have 2 3/4” chambers and shorter choke length of 1 5/8” typical of later/Savage production barrels. Chokes are .590” / .037”/ .038” constriction. Barrel length is 27 15/16” uncut. The bores are .627” - .628” +- and still need final honing and lapping. The minimum wall thicknesses are .042” and .043”. All bore dimensions, etc. are +- .004”.
A second set of new 16 gauge barrels of varying lengths (26” - 32”) can be purchased additionally, along with a second forend kit to enable the building a two barrel/two gauge set.
The only factory marking on the receiver is the 20 gauge stamp on the left water table that shows it as an over stamp of 20 over 16 GA. see photo.
Each frame is serial numbered as I dispose of them for clarity’s sake, and to distinguish them from original factory assembly/production of a finished arm. This keeps the history, provenance, and the level of integrity and collectibility for these guns an identifiable and known entity. The serial number range for these guns is LASTFOX 1/85 through LASTFOX 85/85. This gun is serial number LASTFOX 3/85. Will ship to FFL only.
For collector’s sake, a set of the original factory supplied field grade American Black Walnut is provided with this gun, however, higher grade walnut could be procured elsewhere for building such a gun as this.
The receiver and parts will be packed in one of the factory’s original pine parts boxes, with a Philadelphia parts tag on one end, and a Savage parts tag/label on the other end.
The buttplate is a high quality reproduction, and there is no trigger guard present.
There are extra various small parts included with this gun such as an extra set of action and forend screws to be used as slave screws, extra small ejector parts, and most small (easily lost) springs, pins and screws.
This gun comes with a personalized letter of authenticity detailing the history of these guns and parts.
Price: $5934.
These are new original factory parts, well depicted and described - No Returns. I am more than happy and willing to assist you or your gunsmith with any questions and information before buying. Please call me at (518) 352-1977 Eastern Time. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jason Barden.
