Fox A Grade 16ga. - LIKE NEW, FULLY RESTORED, AWESOME

The demand for small bore Fox guns has never been more intense. The Fox 16ga. built on a 20ga. frame has earned it the reputation as being the finest handling of all American doubles, and this gun is no exception. Many are unaware that less than 2500 Fox A Grade 16's were produced, and most of the good ones are in safes and will not be offered for sale anytime soon. Built in 1938, this Fox, serial number 303660, has been fully restored to historically correct finishes. The value of Fox shotguns continues to climb and guns that have all original parts (wood especially) and are properly restored are a very sound investment vessel in which to plant some of your savings. The market place has definitively changed over the last 5 years regarding properly restored guns, with many shooter/collectors preferring a gun that looks like it did the day it left the factory.

The 28" #3wt. barrels have mirror bores, 100% rust blue, no dents or scratches, chambers and forcing cones lengthened to reduce recoil and improve patterns, choked M/F (.017/.032, can be altered to your specs), bore diameter .660 right barrel, .659 left barrel, minimum barrel wall thickness 30 thou right, 33 thou left, ribs are tight, barrels tight on breech face and hinge like a new gun, clear sharp lettering, extractors, GREAT BARRELS!

The action retains 100% brilliant bone and charcoal case color, perfect screws, extractors, clear sharp engraving, crisp double triggers, trigger guard retains 100% charcoal blue, action tight with lever waaaaay right of center, all in excellent mechanical condition. The entire action was stripped, inspected, cleaned, and lubricated and is as new inside and out, ready for another several generations of use.

The wood has been restored with 100% finish, excellent checkering, capped pistol grip, LOP 14 3/4" to vintage Hawkins pad, 13 3/4 LOP to end of wood (uncut, 14" LOP to Fox butt plate) 3" drop at heel, 1 5/8" drop at comb, 1/8" cast off (can be bent to your specs within 14 days of purchase, thinner pads are available), great wood to metal fit. We have an original Fox butt plate if you want it without pad. STOCK NOT CUT. IT IS AS SHIPPED. All oil was soaked out of the wood before repairing any dings or minor splits, like new inside and out.

What a wonderful restoration. The case colors are gorgeous, blue and wood finish done to perfection, mechanically perfect in all respects. The cost for a quality restoration like this is nearly as much as we are asking for the gun and there is no year long wait for work to be done. All parts are original to the gun from the factory. Weighing 6lbs. 9oz. and balanced dead on the hinge pin, the gun is delightful in hand. What a great upland or vintage clays gun! It is becoming exceedingly difficult to find an A Grade 16ga. Fox for sale, especially ONE WITH ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS AND NOT WORN OUT OR POORLY RESTORED. This Fox looks fresh from the factory but you won't mind taking into the woods and fields. Take care of this gun and its value will continue to increase. If this is your kind of gun, don't hesitate as it will not last long.

There are more photos upon request. There is a 30 day mechanical warranty on this gun.
