Probably because it has 3" chambers and weighs around 9lbs.

The bidders must have more information than what is apparent. If it is an H grade, it probably is worth some money. Even then, how much are refinished h grades worth? I saw one here lately for about $7000, but it was original. The gun in question is said to have extractors, but seems to have an ejector forend.

You do not need to re-finish that gun. To do so would be foolish. I think you could turn it in to a hell of gun with not much work.

Good Lord Stan I was not trying to piss you off. Maybe twist your tail, its been a bad couple of weeks. Very sorry. Those of us who can not read rely on pretty pictures when we can. With those bad angle pictures I can not prove the receiver is a ejector gun but the barrels are. If the serial number match and the barrels are original to the gun then it is not that much of a gamble to buy. What is a fair value for a restored HE? Even a shooter should be in the four to five grand area.

No problem, Jon. You didn't. It was just good reminder to look more closely before I reply. No hard feelings at all. All my best, SRH

i know the owners of this shop...they are honest good guys...nothing in the ad says otherwise...it is still a mystery as to why this crustly old fox is so highly coveted by so few...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Then I stand corrected.
With ed as a reference, they must be boy scouts.
There are 10 (ten) pictures.
None show barrel or action flats.
Does the gun open?
The description is vague.
The shop knows what they have, exactly, yet they leave possible bidders to guess?
Good entertainment anyway.

They say the bores are good so the gun must open to know that. Too many sellers take limited view photos. A good view of the water table could answer more than a few questions. If the seller sends me the photos I've asked for I'll post them here so many others can figure it all out with me or for me.

Any one with interest in this gun should get infor from Fox collectors namely the chambers, chokes, bbl length. Serial # can clearly be seen on one picture. Also ask the technicians there why ejectors might not work and if parts are compatible with regular fox and available if not.

Good luck with the photos. I've emailed the seller and asked a bunch of questions and as of yet no response. Because it is a Straight grip HE it will most likely sell for 5 grand. Not many straight grip HE's out there. Most duck hunters wanted a bit more to hang onto.
