My registration has not been cleared by the admin at the Fox site so I'll put this up here first.

I have always thought that the beavertail on this gun was not original, and obviously the extension is not. At some point I posted pictures of it minus s/n and several folks commented that the work looked 'factory'. When I posted the s/n I was told that it was too early and could not be done by the factory. What say all of you? Original (minus extension)?

Looks like a DIY project, not factory.

Weatherby perhaps, looks kinda rakish for a Fox.

Why do you say PA gun? I found it a long way from PA traded it to a gentleman in Wisconsin and eventually got it back.

For sale? No, this time it stays in my safe for a while.

I have always thought it was a replacement. Can you tell me how it differs from factory Fox BT's?

PA trap and pigeon shooters are fond of "working on the wood" and using Miller Triggers. Their guns are easy to identify even when far removed from their state of origin.

The trigger (we've never been able to ID it as a Miller for sure) is serial numbered to the gun.
