I asked about the Fox HE that was severely neglected and relegated to a damp basement in coastal Swampscott, MA and sold on GB for $9,450 a couple of weeks ago. I went and examined the gun and knew when I saw it that it should clean up nicely.
The owner posted it over on the Fox Forum and said it took him a couple of hours to clean it up.
Trust me, the gun is tight like new and the lever really is that far to the right. It was almost a new gun when it went to the cellar for more than thirty years.
Enjoy the before & after pics...
