Fox CE 12 Gauge – 99% VIVID FACTORY CASE COLOR, BEST!

The C Grade Fox is considered one of the most handsome of the A.H. Fox Graded guns, with its finely cut English scroll, game scene engraving, nicely engraved trigger guard, and European walnut figured well on both sides of the stock.  Many guns offered for sale today lack information on which to base a decision.  A shotgunner should want to know specifics…stock dimensions, choke constrictions, minimum wall thicknesses, weight, balance point, trigger pulls…in addition to viewing well lit, representative photos.  In most ads the photos show no real details of the gun.  Don’t you want to know what you are buying?  A lot of bad things happen to vintage guns over time, and most offered for sale at low prices have poor stock dimensions (making them impossible to shoot well for most shooters) amateur repairs, poor restorations, and even cut barrels and stocks.  Making wise decisions requires adequate information.  Vintage Firearms gives you what you need to buy as a well-informed investor. This fine Fox CE Grade, sn24735 made in 1918 (the era of the best Fox engraving), is a fine example of the Fox CE Grade RETAINING AN HONEST, VIVID 99% FACTORY ORIGINAL CASE COLOR, FOREND AND TRIGGER GUARD BLUE.  The engraving is still sharp with the engraver’s “hooks” still raised and sharp, demonstrating the action has not been “processed”.   The 30” No. 2 weight barrels have excellent bores, tight ribs, factory bore diameter and chokes, lots of wall thickness (see specs in tables below), are tight as new on the hinge pin and breech face and match the included copy of the factory order card.  This gun is mechanically excellent in all ways, with perfect screws, strong well-timed ejectors, crisp trigger pulls, top lever well right of center, ready for another century of use.  We have lengthened the chambers to 2 ¾” and extended the taper of the forcing cones from 5/8” to 1 ½” taper making the gun shoot softer and have better patterns with today’s readily available modern loads, as short shells are near impossible to find now (a $440 service in our shop).  Weighing 7 ¼  pounds and balanced just ahead of the hinge pin, the gun is lively in hand.  YOU CANNOT COMPARE THIS FOX TO OTHER FOX GUNS THAT HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED FOR DECADES.  NO MORE MONEY NEEDS TO BE SPENT.  THE GUN IS SUPERB IN ALL WAYS.  All parts of this gun are factory original, with good dimensions and excellent chokes for upland pursuits and clay target games.  Don’t miss out on this opportunity and thanks for looking at our guns!
