Description:
General Specs: Fox, Year 1922, 12 Gauge, 7lbs 2oz, Chokes M/F, LOP 14 1/8", DAH 2 3/4", DAC 1 5/8"
Serial Number: 94509
There is a dizzying number of Fox Sterlingworth 12ga. guns for sale on the internet, and frankly the Sterlingworth is the very best buy on a vintage American double, period. Built on a simple yet reliable box lock action and with classic American looks, this is a shotgun that has the same steel and internal workings of the highest grade Fox guns that could cost you 10 times as much money. You can buy a nice SW that has been well cared for and is still tight and useable for a less than this one we are advertising if you want a good user gun. This gun, sn94509 built in 1922, is in extraordinary high condition with all factory finishes on the metal and all parts are original to the gun. This is one of the nicest Sterlingworth guns you will see advertised for a very long time, with 98% vivid factory case color, 98% dark factory barrel and trigger guard blue, mirror shiny bores, tight as new on face with the lever well right of center, excellent screws, superb wood-to-metal fit, crisp mechanics (a VFI CERTIFIED GUN…SEE BELOW), and surprisingly good stock dimensions. This gun has barely been carried or shot during its 96 years of life. Thankfully it is not “new in the box” so you can go out and enjoy chasing birds and clay targets with this beautiful Fox. So, if you want a well-worn gun to knock around, pay less for another offering. But, if you want a great representation of what a Fox Sterlingworth looked like new, this gun is still affordable and in rarely seen condition. The 30” #2 weight barrels are choked M/F with tight ribs and factory bore diameters and a minimum barrel wall thickness of 29 thou. The action has been stripped to its smallest parts and placed in our Ultrasonic cleaner, all parts scrubbed, polished, inspected for function and viability, properly lubricated and reassembled. That makes this a VFI CERTIFIED GUN with a 90-day mechanical warranty. Who offers you that on a 96-year-old gun?! Weighing just 7lbs. 2oz. this gun is made for the fields or sporting clays course and can be afforded by anyone who has ever wanted a nice, high-condition Fox gun for their shooting pleasures. Thanks for looking!
