Very nice. A #1 frame 12 is a far more interesting gun, IMO, than the coveted #0 frame 16.

Onward on this project, I just pulled the ribs. I'll prep and try to get them re-layed today. Standard goo between them and the start of some rust. I'll clean that up and re-tin the areas that have delam'd. It was worse than the outer appearances let on. It was delam'd about 3" long on one side. From the outside it looked like only an inch.

First pics are what showed.

Beautiful job on a very nice gun. That Wood is what makes my heart trip.

Improved-Modified
I did a Winig rough cut stock for a gun about a year ago and it wasn't hard at all. The gun I did has a through bolt so I did not need to make a stock vise. With your Fox I would suggest making a stock vise to pull the stock to the action. Getting the forend right will probably take more time to get fit right than the stock.

Regards,Gordon

Gordon,
I did another Parker straight stock from a very close machining job and it was pretty straight forward. I'm still not finished with the forend and it's been set aside for a long time now. More winter/summer projects.

On the Fox, the same craftsman that did this Parker is doing the stocking from bandsaw to chisle and finishing. The blank on this Parker and the Fox I picked up from a friend for $500 for the pair a couple yrs ago.

Well after some cleaning of the rust and crud between the ribs, great news! No pitting. Whew! That was my biggest fear.





Here's the so called "keel". Seems like such a large name for such a small part. Something like "nib" would seem more fitting.




Here's an interesting cartouche on the underside of the toprib.

When I get thru re-laying the ribs, I'll need to refinish. If any of you guys have experience with the B&W finishing process, please email me. spurshooter@verizon.net
