Finding nice, original, unmolested graded Fox guns, even in 12ga., is getting more and more difficult these days. From waterfowl hunters, upland game chasers, to the sporting clays crowd, seems like everybody wants a nice original Fox with long barrels. This gun, sn22290 made in 1916 is just such a gun. This was a time period when Fox was producing really nice guns, and this one shows it. A gun made for heavier loads and game, with 30" number 2 weight barrels and weighing 7lbs. 13oz. balanced perfectly on the hinge pin, this gun is an excellent candidate for the above mentioned pursuits. Best of all it has perfect screws and wood to metal fit, lots of original case color ad barrel blue remaining, strong mechanics with robust ejectors, and really nicely figured original factory wood. This is a gorgeous gun that has not been restored, showing it was well cared for throughout its 99 years of use. Now add nice modern stock dimensions and you have the ultimate, affordable A.H. Fox double gun. Fox guns have been continuously gaining value as you enjoy their use, and that makes this a very good investment gun. You will not likely see an AE Fox with this nice of wood and great features any time soon, so don't hesitate or she will be gone.
