Fox AE 12ga. - 30" BARRELS, HIGH CONDITION, PHILLY vintage firearms inc
Description: General Specs: Fox, Year 1929, 12 Gauge, 7lbs 7oz, Mod/Full, LOP 14 1/8", DAH 2 5/8", DAC 1 9/16" Serial Number: 30330 It is amazing how scarce nice Fox AE guns are becoming. Twelve-gauge guns are certainly more prolific than any of the 16's or 20's, but finding a good one is the trick. What makes a "good one"? Most prefer Philly guns (though Savage made many just to the same standards!), modern shooting dimensions, all original factory parts, perfect screws, and of course, she has to look good! For most that enjoy upland hunting, the preference is something fairly light that is quick to the shoulder and easy to carry all day over hill and dale but can still handle heavy loads should the need arise. The vintage sporting clays shooters like a little weight to their guns to help absorb the recoil that comes with shooting hundreds of times in a day’s shoot. Here we have the right gun, serial #30330 made in 1929 in Philadelphia, weighing in at 7lbs. 7oz.. and balanced just right ¼” ahead of the hinge pin. This gun is configured exactly as she came from the factory (see attached factory order card), with 30” No. 3 weight barrels choked M/F, factory bore diameter and lots of wall thickness. The stock is unaltered and has good modern shooting dimensions, no cracks or repairs, and nice factory flat-top checkering, with 14 1/8” LOP to the factory butt plate. This is a VFI CERTIFIED GUN, meaning we stripped the action and forend iron to their smallest parts, ran them through our Ultrasonic cleaner to remove all films and grunge, inspected each part for integrity and function, lubricated properly and reassembled the gun ready for decades of use. There is a 90-day mechanical warranty that comes with VFI CERTIFIED. Who else does that, right? The triggers are crisp, the ejectors strong and timed, ribs are tight, and the barrels are tight on the breech face and hinge pin. This gun is ready for use this upcoming gunning season, which is just a few weeks away for most. A very attractive gun with plenty of condition, it will serve you well in the field or at the shooting club. And, like most other vintage American double guns, the value will continue to rise as many more are bought and put in safes nation wide.
