We've seen a few factory stock and forend oddities on Meriden Parkers. That Fox doesn't look too far-fetched to be an effective trap gun. We've sure seen stranger aftermarket modifications on classic trap guns.

I love the engraving on the Fox CE’s, but they’d have to drop the price quite a bit for me to consider that.

They destroyed a good gun.
Imagine the weight added to the front of that thing with a forend that big.

I wonder what the forend lug and latch mechanism look like. It’s a shame it has likely been heavily modified for that extra large and ugly forend.

I agree double o frame. The latch on the outside of the forend is fit perfectly. I would like to see how that was achieved.

Well Brian at least when one of the members buys it and sends it to you you will have plenty of wood to work with. Man that is ugly.

I've always thought this Ithaca Flues forearm pictured in Clyde Baker's gunsmithing book was a bit over the top.
