I had a Fox Pin gun and it worked perfect, every bit as good a gun as a like Parker that cost twice as much.
Cheap open job from the local gunsmith has a good chance of ruining the gun. Look at Midways utube on opening a Parker to learn how to ruin one. Proper open job from a qualified gunsmith cost about the same as buying a 2nd Fox with shorter barrels and open chokes.
Spreaders are a viable option. I opt for the Spreaders in most cases. Own one 26 inch barrel factory open choke gun, half a dozen or more tight choked SxS's Dedicated open choked gun is useful but no real improvement in performance over the spreader loads in longer barrel better swinging guns.
Opinion only others may see it different.
