Picked up a couple A.H. Fox guns a couple weeks ago, one is an 1918 AE and The other a 1921 XE. The XE is in decent shape and is currently out to be fully restored.
The AE has barrels that have been cut from 30" to 28". They have some remaining choke. Talking to the gunsmith he said he might be able to massage the remaining chokes to roughly an IC and a Mod.
While my original intention was just to sell the AE I am now thinking of having the choke work done and using the gun for sometime sporting clays. My questions are, has anyone done this with cut barrels and do you end up with barrels capable of producing decent patterns?
Thanks, John
