Some may recall the ill fated attempt by Simmons to make new Parker barrels about ten years ago.

The Quails Fargo arrived a few weeks ago. This is a nice little gun, the fit and finish are decent, satin polished like 220 grit on the blued and cased metal, with a nice satin lacquer on the wood. The single trigger works fine and it's pretty much in mint condition. In my view, a lot of gun for the money. As you can see it has a really straight stock, which I like. It's not light, 6# 8 oz. yet has nice balance and shoulders and points great for me. The case colors are really nice, as you can see, probably cyanide. I had been looking for a post 1980 B Fox, 12 gauge, 3" double trigger which has the cut checkering and raised rib, but then this turned up and I'm glad it did. Thank you to everyone who posted related information, especially Researcher who has come through with period literature on a number of occasions.

Here's a close up of the frame, this gun has great case coloring whatever process they used, not garish or cheap looking, in my opinion. That could be due to the frame being only polished to about 220 grit or so.
