I sold a high condition Sterlingworth, almost as nice as PA24's pictured gun. It had .040 and about .043 chokes and was the first gun I have ever patterned that would pattern in the mid to high 90s with heavy loads of soft fours. My friend drilled the chokes out and refinished the wood. The wood looks wonderful. He has displayed the Fox on his gun show table for about a year now without any potential buyer showing any interest. If the wood were original, Fox collectors would be all over the gun, and I would buy it back for more than I sold it for. The chokes are not the problem, although I know he ruined them. However, the wood refinishing looks like a turd on a collard leaf on a high condition Fox, although very well done.
