Default Fell off the Wagon!

Although I pledged to myself that this year would be about completing gun projects and gun maintenance, and that I would refrain from buying any guns this year...I have already strayed.

Picked up this very cute little Philly Fox Sterlingworth 20, 26" original barrels, the gun turned out to be very nice...bored almost perfect, choked IC/M, nice high dimensions, especially for a Fox, 3 weight barrels. the gun weighs a hair over 5 1/2 lbs.

These are sellers pics, will provide more when I can get around to it...gun much better in person...quite a bit of case color remaining...

Happy with this one!

Like W C Fields said, giving up drinking is easy. I've done it a thousand times.

The only way you are going to stop buying guns is to quit looking at guns for sale. There is always a good looking deal somewhere!

Yeah well...the day after I bought this gun, I bought a VH 12 with an aftermarket beavertail forearm, that a friend decided to test and see how much she could reduce the price, and MAKE me buy the damn gun....

I have a feeling that gun will be on the "for sale" section soon!
