Description:
This Savage Fox B, Series H, 12-gauge, double-barrel, shotgun has 24-inch barrels, ejectors, double triggers, and case colors on the lockbox. Its length of pull (LOP) is 14½ inches. Its drop at the comb is approximately two inches. Its drop at the heal is approximately 2¾ inches. It weighs six pounds, fourteen ounces. The gun accepts 2 ¾-inch and 3-inch shells. Bores are in excellent condition. All original finish on metal and wood. Year of manufacture is 1974. There are no box, papers, or accessories with this gun.
The overall condition of this gun is approximately 85 percent. Bluing on the barrels is 98+ percent, with a couple very small marks, including a couple shiny areas (looks like thin bluing) about nine inches forward of the chambers, and the elevated rib has a couple shiny areas on the edges or corner of the rib. The underside of the barrels has a couple of shiny areas where the forend contacts the barrels. The case colors are about 95 percent on the lockbox and the tang, though the rear of the tang shows some wear where the shooter’s finger has rubbed it while operating the safety selector which also show some wear. The lockbox has what appears to be some pitting or nicks, especially the left side, but there is no rust. The bottom of the lockbox are engraved with a decorative pattern around a smiling fox.
The wood (stock and forend) is about 85-90 percent. With a couple standout exceptions (more on that in a moment, the forend is about 95- percent, with a 1/3 inch scrap just through the lacquer or varnish finish 1½ back from the front end and just below where the forend meets the barrel. There are also several small scraps through the lacquer or varnish finish on the bottom/left side of the forend, just below the checkering. There is a ¾ inch x ½ inch area on the left side of the forend, about two inches forward of the rear of the forend that is through the lacquer or varnish finish. The checkering on the forend is deep and crisp with no damage. The checker is, however, dark, I presume with age. The standout exceptions that I mentioned are two. First, there is a gold-colored slotted screw head protruding from the bottom of the forend. Apparently, some stripped the threads of the screw hole of the forend iron so that the original forward forend screw could be tightened. Rather than replacing the forend iron (currently cost $45), he rethreaded the screw hole and replace the original screw with the protruding gold screw. Second, for whatever reason, in an attempt to replace the rear forend screw, someone used a screw too long for the job and went clear through the bottom of the forent, leaving an empty hole with chipped edges. Replacing the forend iron and the gold screw at the current cost of $45 is still an option to improve the appearance of the forend and the gun. The hole at the rear of the forend is there to stay.
The stock is approximately 80 to 85 percent. There are several places on both side were the lacquer or varnish finish has been rubbed off or otherwise penetrated. It looks like some kind of solvent might come in contact with the finish. Those four or five places are not very large, maybe 1/3 x 1/3 inch. The checking on the stock is also deep and crisp with no damage or other marks, but does have the same darkness.
This gun is 100-percent operational and is a quality gun. It will still do what it was intended to do - home defense and small game. I would not hesitate to purchase it for those purposes.

The buyer pays $40 for USPS Priority mail and $8.60 for insurance. Virginia buyers must pay 5.3% sales tax.
The fastest way to get this gun is to pay with USPS (U.S. Postal Service) money orders, as they are like cash. I will ship the gun immediately upon receipt of a USPS money order and an FFL. I will also accept a personal check or other type money, as well as bank checks and cashier's checks, but I will hold the gun until it clears my bank; this includes bank checks and cashier’s checks. I do not accept credit cards, debit cards, or PayPal.
Check or money order must be made out to Jerry Pownall or Barboursville Arms.
