I am putting up for sale my 32" second gen B. the gun is FULLY restored and was done by someone with great skills, the fit and finish is much better than even Philly factory work. That said, the guns been modified heavily... it was once a P/G and is now a straight grip, was once DT and is now a Miller SST, and now is a BTFE. I've shot maybe 2 or 3 boxes of shells through it and the SST works great. Chokes are M /M. the current dimensions are 14x 1.5x1.5 on a BEAUTIFUL piece of walnut. The grip has a nice diamond shape to it and the checkering is very sharp. Weight is 7-9.5. Engraving is sharp, bluing is perfect (no pitting underneath) case colors are nearly 100%. If someone told me that Galazan, Turnbull, or Hughes did this gun I would not have much issue believing it. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking and feel free to ask questions. I'd like to get $2500 plus $35 for well packaged, fully insured shipping with tracking. $50 discount to Fox collector member (new memberships are only $35)













If anyone cares the original card said...



22260 -- Rush, B-Grade, 32-inch, full and full, Full pistol grip, 14 1/2 inch LOP, 1 3/8 inch DAC, 2 inch DAH, weight 8 pounds, light trigger pulls, select very nice stock, independent safety, to make ver even paterns with 3 1/8 DuPont, send patterns, for John W. Lamme. Notes along the bottom margin of the card 1 3/8 2 7 11

a few other pictures and wanted to add...I threw the bore gauge down the left tube and it measures .725 and choke is .016, the right barrel meausres about .730 and .016 so it might have been lightly honed at one time but i have seen small difference barrel to barrel on lots of Fox guns. Barrel wall thickness was in my notes as .036 left and .030 right at the thinnest location I could find with the Hosford gauge.... plenty enough to back bore a little if you wanted to get the chokes a little tighter.

. What is pull lenght of stock wood not including recoil pad and any spacers? Barrel ringing and on face ? Is the triggerguard long style as Fox ddi make them? Can the trigger be switched from one to other barrel? Has the gun ever doubled? Why do you say fit & finish is better than Phila? Thank you,CB

You had to get up in the higher grades to get a gun like that from Fox.

cherry bomb...


The pad is a hair over 1 inch... call 1 1/32" from the wood to the end. barrels ring like church bells and are tight on face. The trigger guard is long. The Trigger is what I believe to be a "standard" miller tirgger (its the only one I have owned) and so yes it can be switched from left to right... it works in conjunction with the safety. Mid is safe, forward is right barrel, rear is left. I have tested fired the gun enough (a few boxes) to fell secure the trigger works as advertised... I tried left barrel first, right barrel first, two as quickly a possible, over and over without issue... no doubles.

I own three CE grade fox guns... the fit and finish on this gun blows all of them out of the water... given the other, mcuh older, stocks have had a lot of time to expand, shrink, and soak up oil... but still... you could not slide a peice of tissue paper between the wood and metal on this gun... even the trigger guard is impeccably fitted. The checkering is just perfect, straight lines, sharp points,etc. And too top it off, the piece of wood is D grade or better from the Fox factory with a few lucky X grade exceptions maybe...

Of course these are just my view points and I am the seller, you will have to let the pictures convince you one way or the other...or buy the gun and have a look...

I know I am going to regret selling this...
