Just thought I'd share . I just picked up my second Philly Fox CE 16 with 30'' tubes .
The first had a single trigger and this new to me one has double triggers . Both have around 14" LOP so off to Dan Rossiter , Custom Stocks and Steel , they go . I need a 15"LOP . Dan will completely redo these guns to original condition with exhibition wood.
Dan has done several projects for me and I have been very happy . I'm not a technoid or I'd post a couple pics . Probably looking at a good year and a half or more for completion . To say I'm ecstatic is an understatement .
The Fox is my gun of choice .

Congrats on your new find. My 16 ga Fox Special has 30" barrels and although I bought the gun because of it's modern stock dimensions, I find I really enjoy shooting those 30" tubes. Sounds like you are going to have a real treasure when you get the gun back from restoration and re-stocking. You need to learn how to post pictures; remember the forum rule that if we don't have pictures, it never happened. More gun porn!

Nobody cares about you buying yet another Fox old man. Please just go away.

Do you have a stick of wood picked out for this CE yet or are you using a blank from Dan's stock?

P.S.- You better get that knee sorted out... If I have to choose between carrying you or the Fox you're toting out of the woods this autumn, you'll be drawing the short stick. Wink

Al seeing how you and Tut keep a fair amount of money coming into "The Valley" with Dan, here are a couple of your pictures, hope you don't mind.





Now don't forget to post pictures when Dan is done with his magic Very Happy
