An old friend and hunting companion inherited a family AH Fox grade BE 12 gauge- ordered in 1915- double triggers, ejectors, half grip stock-- with 30" Krupp Flusshall barrels- from V, L & A--LOM case, the whole pre-War (well, for the USA anyway) package- gun has never been altered, the barrels measure 29 & 1/2" dead money, whether from muzzle to breech or breech to muzzle- chambers are 2 & 5/8" and chokes are .020" right barrel (front trigger) and .030" left barrel (rear trigger)- gun shoots to POA at any set distance on patterning boards- and throws uniform patterns with older paper shells in No 4, 5, 6 and 7.5 shot sizes, ditto with the RST and Fiocchi loads of today. How did the order for a gun with std. 30" long barrels come through with barrels one half inch shorter, yet still shoot and pattern like the proverbial "house afire"? You tell me!!
