I have a fox ae with single trigger gun with 26" barrels.I would like to make it into a sporting clay gun .I have found a fox sterlingworth barrel 30".Can the sterling barrel be made to fit the ae.

If they have the same type forend attachment they probably can be fitted if not you will a need separate forend for each barrel. Also don't expect them to fit right on without the attention of a knowledgeable Gun Smith. You will probably end up with the same extractor/ejector system that is currently on the 30 inch barrels because Fox ejectors are scarcer than the proverbial hens teeth.

any you ever do this.

They would definitely need to be fitted by a good smith.

Save yourself money,time and head aches. Just buy the gun you want.
Been there done that.

A graded fox ejector forend can be converted to sterlingworth type by adding a piece at front of iron that Fox used on first sterlingworth 12 gauge ejectors. Then you would have to add the little roller in slot and make a new wood forend. Look at Dave's article about sterlingworths in Double Gun Journal back issue and you will see the piece that was added to extend graded forend iron. I have the piece but only have one. Bobby

Call Dewey Vicknair, He should have a FOX SW 12 gauge fore end laying around his shop. It is left over from a project very similar to this that he did for me. You will need a little luck. You will want the new barrels to be fatter or the same as the original barrels. Dewey can probably get this done for you and it will be a beautiful thing. Jent
