A.H. Fox Gun Co. greatly expanded during The Great War years. First a plant to make Mauser rifle barrels for Serbia, then Moisen-Nangant magazine parts for Czarist Russia, then Colt Model 1911 parts & Very flare pistols for the U.S. Government --


After the Armistice much of this excess capacity had to be sold off and the rest of it certainly didn't go to making antiquated double guns. The Godshalks went to making automobile accessories, golf equipment, fishing reels, toy guns, etc. Finally, after two big additions to the Ansley H. Fox shotgun line, the single barrel trap and the Super-Fox, neither of which set any sales records, by late 1929 they sold off the remaining shotgun business to Savage Arms Corp. and continued on into the early 1980s making all manner of light industrial items as Fox Products Co.
