Description:
Fox Sterlingworth 16 Gauge Side-by-Side
28" Barrels
General Specs: Fox, Year 1925, 16 Gauge, 6lbs 4oz, SxS
Serial Number: 359822
Ansley H. Fox got it right when he designed the Fox 16ga. on the 20ga. receiver. Fox 16-gauge guns are invariably light and well balanced, much more so than other American makers of the day. Parker made a few of their 16’s on the “O” frame that was designed for their 20ga. gun, but they are far and few between and you pay a large premium when you find one. Most will agree the Fox Sterlingworth 16ga. is the best value for a small gauge American double gun in today's marketplace. This Fox, sn359822 made in 1925, is quite a find, as it has OUTSTANDING FACTORY ORIGINAL CONDITION, with 28” number 3 weight barrels retaining factory correct bore diameter, 98% factory blue, clear sharp lettering, minimum barrel wall thickness of 27 thousandths, 80% strong factory case color, 98% factory blue, perfect screws, and original length of pull to the factory buttplate. The flat top checkering is superb and is factory, and the wood to metal fit is tight as new. The gun has likely never been apart. There are some hunting marks in the wood, but no deep marks, cracks, or repairs. Restoring the wood to new is very affordable and can be done in our shop in a very short time period. Doing so would really make this a “looker”, as the rest of the gun is really strong. Some people like them untouched, so for now that is the way you see it. It is in nice condition with good shooting dimensions, ready for the upcoming season’s upland game and clay targets. Untouched guns are becoming increasingly difficult to find, making guns like this one a great investment opportunity. What a great find at 6 1/4lbs. and 28” barrels! Thanks for looking.
