Greg, that's a great thing you are doing and should be an example and inspiration for many of us. Thanks!

BTW, I don't want to know anything about the gun except that which you have already posted. I'm not a candidate and your terms were clearly explained. Stick to your plan. Very Happy

I specialize as a hobby in drillings, but after having a few combo guns damaged in the mail I do only face to face transactions.. I like this site because you guys are the real deal you know what the correct "square load" gauge is and preach its sermon. So I figured this would be a good place to search. You know a grouse hunter is a step above and beyond your normal woodsman. I have one son only and he is a great person in every way but not a gun nut like myself. He is more into business than the woods. He is single. I have not run into any young people out in the grouse woods, where are they ? I will be putting some pics and specs into a photo drop box,
I wish this site could post a pic directly ,attached to a reply.
When I hand this gun to the new owner I look forward to showing him how to inspect a SxS. Ring the barrels, check face fit, striker protrusion, locks, doubling, so he can carry on his own, stuff the old timers showed me.

Getting strange.......

My post was directed at 1steve7301 not greg.Greg I think your intentions are very honorable and I hope you are successful. I follow a simple principal to happiness,"To keep it you have to give it away"

Images and measurements would definitely be helpful.

But I'm just a bug for full disclosure, so ....

If I were closer, I'd surely be interested in more details on your Fox. Some days I don't feel like a young man, but at 41 many would consider me to be one.

I haven't had the pleasure of grouse hunting yet, but I have taken a few quail, pheasant and chukar. I belong to a local dog training club, and while my dog is really too old to train much now, I help out with others to learn as much as I can. I just acquired an Uggie Parker Hale for that purpose from another member here. A Sterlingworth was on the short list before the Uggie became available. Anyway If you PM me details I'd have more to go on..

Thanks

you can teach a dog of any age give it a try

I wish you would make a video of the SxS inspection method, post it to YouTube, and post the link here. I know some of those things and need to know the rest. Especially since some old gunner showed you. I listen to most everything old gunners say so I can learn more.

If that task is beyond your tech ability, get a youngster to do it for you. There are plenty of them around; you're probably related to a few.

There is a post of a SXS inspection on youtube. Midway had a british gunsmith do one. You just need to look for it.
