Aside from the receiver having a radiused front rather than the sterlingworth V, this sure looks like a sterlingworth, especially the breech balls, the forend, and the stock. The question is, which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Nah, looks like something straight out of Suhl. No pins, all screws, greener crossbolt, and thru bolt at the head of the stock. Very Germanic flavor.

Looks like a Husqvarna 310AS or 310ASE. That gun cost more then a DE-Grade Ansley H. Fox when they were both being made. Other then Browning Superposeds, Husqvarna 310s are the only Eurotrash I play with!!

Sorry!! I just deficated in the punchbowl!!! That gun doesn't have the upper screw behind the breechball for the second sear of a Husqvarna 310. It is the much cheaper 1310 from the 1960s.

I wasn't saying it is an exact clone; obviously it is not. I was merely saying that at first glance, it looks somewhat similar to a sterlingworth, from the stock and action configuration and to the forend to a lesser degree. It made me wonder if the Swedes were influenced by Fox or vice versa. I wasn't trying to slam Fox or anything, I was just curious if there might have been an influence.

I think the Swedes were more influenced by the Suhl makers, than Ansley Fox.. MDC

It looks like a better gun then my Sterlingworth ejector. It's system Anson & Deeley plus Greener X-bolt, Nicer checkering, genuine action screws.
