Custom 20 Ga Fox , stocked by Dan Rossiter.
I posted this on the Fox Collectors Forum but some of you dont go there and I thought I would share. I am kind of proud of the gun. It is a Fox after all!!

This Fox hotgun started life as a Utica made, 26" Cyl & IC Sterlingworth "Brush" straight grip (according to Callahan letter) It was returned to factory and a year later sold as a second (according to Callahan letter) but now has C Grade engraving (its factory, laid against 3 other C grades and there is no difference) most likely done by a buddy of the guy who bought it at work.
As it stood, the gun was not shootable with drop of 1 1/2 x 1 1/2. Dan Rossiter did the wood work and converted the short "brush" style guard to graded style.
Wood came from a AHFGCA member (thanks VA T!) . this is not an attempt to create a C Grade. Its a way to rejuvenate a great little gun with some cool character.
The case is from FEI Cases.




















and the final results, My Field Bred Springer Mollie (9 months) in Feb. with the first bird I killed over her and it was first bird I killed with the new Fox.

Brian,
Absolutely beautiful. I commented on the other forum but that gun is so fine its worth a second. Never liked BT forearms until I saw yours. Would love to handle it and see how it feels.

Well done.

That's a beauty!

That's a beautiful gun Brian, and a gorgeous piece of wood. Dan Rossiter did an outstanding restocking job.

VERY nice!!
Thank you for sharing

Mike

I love that sleek little frame on the Fox shotgun. Just one beautiful gun Brian!!!

We should start a thread of all the custom Fox shotguns everyone has on this board.

SKEETX,

Partridge (Ruffed Grouse) That's what I hunt most of the time.

Pheasants and Chukars on a preserve to work the new pup on live birds. and Woodcock

RST's mostly.

Brian,
Where does it balance? Weight?

Best,
Bill
