Fox Sterlingworth 16 Gauge – 28, HIGH CONDITION vintage firearms inc
Description: General Specs: Fox, Year 1932, 16 Gauge, 6lbs 4oz, M/F, LOP 14", DAH 2 3/4", DAC 1 9/16" Serial Number: 368490 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, sn368490 made in 1932, is quite a find, as it has OUTSTANDING FACTORY ORIGINAL CONDITION, with 28” number 3 weight barrels retaining factory correct bore diameter, 99% factory blue, clear sharp lettering, minimum barrel wall thickness of 35 thousandths, and you can still see the factory jeweling on the breech face of the barrels. Tell me how often you see that on a 86 year-old Sterlingworth!!! 75% strong factory case color, 97% factory blue on the trigger guard, perfect screws, and original length of pull to the factory buttplate makes this an incredible find. 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. It is in rarely found 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.
