Picked up my Fox XE 12 gauge from Dewey Vicknair Sunday after he completed a complete restoration.
Could not believe what a great job he did, took a pretty worn abused gun and turned it into a work of art. Dewey detailed the restoration in his blog,

I'm off over the Holidays and can't wait to break some birds with it. Here are a few pictures,

Jaw dropping.

How much did the restoration set you back, if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks everyone, my pictures don't do the gun or Deweys work justice, it looks far better in person.

LeverHead, I would rather not say but I feel that for the amount of work and the quality of the work performed I think it was a bargain.

Johnr, I don't blame you for not disclosing the cost of that job. It was clearly worth whatever it cost. Besides, anything you put on the internet is liable to be found by your wife if you know what I mean...Geo

In other words, just hope that when you go to the Pearly Gates, your wife doesn't sell your guns for the $300 you told her they cost. Beautiful job. Do you have any "before" photos? I looked at Dewey's blog and only saw portions of the stock.
