I have a set of 12 gauge aluminum bushings from an older Pacific single stage 12 ga. loader, I can give you specifics as to powder drop (Red Dot) and believe the shot is for 1 and 1/8 oz. can also "mike them" to see if they'd fit your Posness-Warren "stepchild" loader. I gave up handloading shotgun shells about 6 years ago- sold the loader to a gun club pal who shoots SC big time- I used to get about 8-9 reloads per AA hull before they'd split at the crimp area-RWTF

Runs WTF, It sounds like you should get rid of that old HE. Those tight chambers could be dangerous. I would be happy to take the gun off your hands.

Thanks for the info, Chuck, but since I own six of them, I'm pretty much up on selling prices. Can you help me with the question I asked?

Thanks for the kind thought-I am impressed with the only Fox I own-and most likely ever will-my Grandfather had two graded 12 bore Parkers and his hunting partner owned a DE 12 bore Phila. Fox-I thought it was a much more handsome gun than the Parkers- straight grip- two triggers and that Fox was so well fitted- it would not close on some Remington paper hulls-but the Remingtons would work just fine in the Parker-my Grandfather was a tool maker- so he "miked" the head dias. of the Remington hulls- and compared them to some Federal and Winchester paper shells- the Remingtons from that particular box were 0.0025" larger in dia. than ther others now that is "gun-fitting". I bought mine about 15 years ago for $650.00 (dealer was asking $800.00) mfg. 1927-( I got a letter from Roe Clark)I believe from reading Mike's book on the Fox that it has the Becker Barrels- they are stamped Not Guaranteed- which has to do with patterns-I've shot Bismuth, Steel, lead and even Hevi-Shot hulls- 2&3/4" and 3" in it-and I like the tight patterns-I like to see birds "fold up and swap ends" in the air when well centered-just like I like to see a Montana mulie drop stone dead from a boiler room shot from a M70 30-06 with an 180 grain Core-Lokt- like my hero (Nash B.) I am a 12 ga. gunner-- I can handle its weight and great balance-I installed a Pachmayr solid red pad with one spacer-I like a 14 and 13/16" LOP on a field double- but for waterfowl I go a bit shorter in LOP- as I am wearing heavier clothing normally-Thanks for your interest- I have a pal with an Utica Sterlingworth 30" 3" mag 12 bore- DT and AE- most likely NOT a Becker bored Fox-he might be interested in hearing your offer-advise and I'll see what I can do for you in getting a "Big 'Un"- RWTF

Birdawg, I went to my favorite dogeared Webster's Ninth Collegiate and looked up "hijack thread" and guess whose picture I saw. Quite a distinguished looking character he is.

I would go along with the suggestion to get a manual. Always helpful to have one. I always use WD-40 when I clean mine instead of a thicker oil. WD-40 is n't much of a lubricant but it is a great cleaner. And it has enough lubricant to work well. Good luck with your new machine.

Thanks again for the info, I have a lifetime collection of Pacific/Hornady bushings so I'm in good shape there.This machine does not have the easy change adapter for changing bushings however I likely will only use it for my favourite 1 oz. sporting clays load anyway.It does require a certain amount of concentration not to screw up the cycle of hull/crank/wad/crank etc. while watching that the primers are feeding properly. Have to leave the Newcastle Brown until after the loading session...
Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
