THIS FOX IS HEADS AND TAILS ABOVE OTHERS YOU WILL FIND, REGARDLESS OF PRICE, AND CHECKS ALL THE BOXES! There are always a few 12ga. A Grade Fox guns available to buy, so how do you choose? Do you want to buy just an old gun from a stranger far away that provides almost no information or photos that allow you to know what you are buying, a gun without any warranty and maybe a box of shells away from expensive repairs? OR…should you buy a fine, thoroughly inspected A.H. Fox that competent gunsmiths have completely reviewed, a gun that is guaranteed to be in superb mechanical condition complete with a 30-day mechanical warranty? That should be an easy question to answer. Most available guns have had their stocks cut, been poorly restored, heavily used, have buggered up screws, bad shooting dimensions, or have characteristics that just don’t fit your needs. Many have issues that a novice buyer won’t even recognize until the inspection period is over and now the gun needs work. It is nearly impossible to get quality gunsmithing work on a vintage shotgun these days, so why take a chance on a random internet purchase? This Philly Fox is the perfect choice for pheasants and other tough upland game. It has perfect screws, excellent wood to metal fit, 90% blue, 26” barrels with mirror bores, tight ribs, tight on hinge pin and breech face, 99% blue on the trigger guard, and well figured factory original wood with an excellent hand-rubbed oil finish. The gun has top lever right of center, and excellent checkering with good shooting dimensions (see specs below). Our gunsmiths have lengthened the chambers and forcing cones to accommodate modern ammunition and can make other alterations to fit your needs. It might be a “month of Sundays” before you see another A Grade Fox this nice and completely serviced and ready to go afield. Fox guns have been continuously gaining value as you enjoy their use, and that makes this a very good investment gun. Thanks for looking!
