Fox A Grade 12 gauge – 1920, HANDSOME, CLASSIC AMERICAN SIDE BY SIDE

There are always a few 12 ga. 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, 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 excellent screws, factory finishes on the barrels, action, and trigger guard.  The wood has been nicely restored.  The double triggers are crisp and auto-safety functions as it should.  Some shooter-collector guns are more collector than shooter, and many hunters would hesitate to take them into the field.  This handsome shotgun will be respected by any collector and is ready for many more years in the field.
